Abstract:
Changes in the organization of hospital services and in the use of medical care by the population have had a great impact on the activities of hospitals, especially in the sectors dealing with noncommunicable diseases [7]. During the first wave of the pandemic (COVID-19), when hospital overload was at its highest, there was a significant drop in hospital admissions for acute cardiovascular diseases worldwide from 20.2% to 73% [4]. For example, France reported a 30% reduction in hospitalizations for myocardial infarction (MI) during the first month of national lockdown, which was introduced from March 17 to May 11, 2020 [6].
