ABSTRACT

The current COVID-19 home isolation is perhaps a cause for a significant reduction in the presentation and late arrival of cases of myocardial and cerebral infarction. Several publications announce the significant drop of patient’s volume with myocardial infarction in China, Italy, France, Spain and The United States, warning possible impact on global fatality and patient’s disability, that may be higher than the COVID’s related. This paper warns about similar behavior in Mexico with possible sequelae.
