Trends in Clinical Presentation, Management, and Outcomes of STEMI in Patients With COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We previously reported high in-hospital mortality for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with COVID-19 treated in the early phase of the pandemic.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to describe trends of COVID-19 patients with STEMI during the course of the pandemic.

Methods

The NACMI (North American COVID-19 STEMI) registry is a prospective, investigator-initiated, multicenter, observational registry of hospitalized STEMI patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 infection in North America. We compared trends in clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients treated in the first year of the pandemic (January 2020 to December 2020) vs those treated in the second year (January 2021 to December 2021).
