COVID-19 : An Argentinian perspective
© 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC..
At the time of this writing (July 6, 2020), the mortality rate reported for COVID-19 in Argentina was <2%. Also, the country's critical care beds are ≤63% occupied. This achievement results from the excellent coordination and action by the Argentine Ministry of Health together with the 23 provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires of the nation for now.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Regarding cardiovascular care for patients over 65 years of age, a more accurate analysis could be performed when two comparative half-yearly periods corresponding to the years 2019 and 2020 (pandemic time) were compared. The data collected regarding this age range revealed issues that had not previously been evaluated in our country. That undoubtedly proposes a different solution for the future based on a strict scientific analysis.
RESULTS: The ratio of patients who received stents to those that underwent coronary surgery was 6 to 1, while the ratio of patients who had off-pump surgery to those that underwent minimally invasive surgery was 69 to 1.
CONCLUSION: An Argentinian perspective regarding cardiovascular care is good because the country has an excellent level of qualified medical training in its cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology services, as well as healthcare infrastructure distributed throughout the country, which will undoubtedly be able to respond to the new challenges posed by the post-pandemic period.
