Abstract
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses great challenge on public
health globally.
Objective: To clarify the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on in-hospital management and outcomes
for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in the non-epicenter.
Methods and Results: We enrolled consecutive STEMI patients who visited Fuwai Hospital from
January to March, 2020 (N=73) and also established a historical control including all consecutive
STEMI patients in the same period of 2019 (N=95). The primary outcome was defined as a
composite endpoint of all-cause death, heart failure, cardiac shock and cardiac arrest during
hospitalization.
Results: Emergency response for COVID-19 resulted in a significant 77.6% reduction in the number
of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and a trend towards higher rate of primary
composite endpoint (15.1% vs. 11.6%, p=0.51).
Conclusions: COVID-19 pandemic results in a significant reduction in emergent reperfusion therapy,
and a trend towards higher in-hospital adverse events risk.
