TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified and compared the decline in volumes of cardiovascular procedures between the United States and non-U.S. institutions during the early phase of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiac diagnostic testing and practice and assessed its impact in different regions in Europe by collecting information on changes in cardiac imaging procedural volumes between March 2019 and March/April 2020.

TL;DR: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations from baseline in cardiovascular diagnostic care at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and 1 year later as discussed by the authors , which was used to determine the impact of the pandemic on cardiac testing practices, volumes and types of diagnostic services.

TL;DR: Better balance and timing of social distancing measures and planning to maintain access to medical care is warranted during a pandemic surge, especially in regions with high cardiovascular mortality.
