Brief Summary:
To register pathological events occurring to all acute coronary syndrome patients coming to Assiut university heart hospital through one year during COVID- 19 pandemic
Detailed Description:
In the face of the quickly evolving coronavirus disease 2019 COVID-19 pandemic many health-care systems around the globe have modified their routine management of patients presenting with acute cardiovascular emergencies including patients with ACSA unifying theme in the new management strategies is the adoption of new restrictive measures to meet the challenges of increased risk of infection of health-care workers limited numbers of beds shortage of personal protective equipment PPE inadequate number of protected catheterization rooms and the clinical overlap between ACS and COVID-19 infection in some of patients
In developing countries with an already strained health system due to economic problems the situation is more challenging and needs the formulation of efficient protocols that can accommodate several medical and socioeconomic challenges
Egypt with an estimated population of 100 million is facing exceptional challenges during the COVID-19 crisis Because large scale use of polymerase chain reaction PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 in a large population is a problem the prevalence of COVID-19 infection in Egypt is unknown Furthermore the supply of PPE falls far short of demands with lack of professionally protected cardiac catheterization rooms With progression of the pandemic in such a large population care of COVID-19 patients is expected to rapidly overwhelm the supplies beds and staff available in Egyptian hospitals
The Cardiology Department in Assiut university hospital has revised the management protocols for ACS patients and implemented new management protocols both for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction STEMI and Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes NSTE-ACS
