As explained by the Vice President of the Athens Faculty of Medicine, Associate Professor of Cardiology, Mr. Gerasimos Siassos, protothema.gr, «Similar data is available in other European countries such as the United Kingdom. In London, it appears that at the height of the pandemic, dozens of people died at home after a heart attack. It is possible that this increase is directly due to COVID-19 disease. However, there is concern that the increase in heart attacks is also related to the reluctance or fear of patients who enter the hospital for fear of coming into contact with the new coronary artery. An additional phenomenon that may be related to the increase in heart attacks outside the hospital is the significant reduction in heart attacks that occur in hospitals in all countries affected by the pandemic. The reduction of heart attack in Spain reaches 70% and in New York 50%».

Anyone needing emergency care, people with heart failure, coronary heart disease, or other cardiovascular disease should not risk their health by staying away from hospitals out of fear. Hospitals have taken the necessary precautions and patients are not at risk. They need to ask for help if they need it, that’s why we are here.».
