ABSTRACT

Since the WHO declared the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic on March 11, 2020, emergency department records showed a decrease in admissions for ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (SICA CEST) and Mexico was no exception. The authors evaluate the records of patients diagnosed with SICA CEST, adhered to the fourth universal definition of acute myocardial infarction who presented from January 1st to June 31st, 2019, and compared with the first semester of 2020 in three tertiary care hospitals in Mexico City.
