To the Editor:The current pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 respon-sible for COVID-19 poses a challenge to health systems that is threatening to collapse their functioning. This situation hampers the practice of all routine processes –non strictly COVID-related ones– and we must assume that the way to manage cases will be different from those currently required by clinical practice protocols and guidelines. It is mandatory to optimize the use of resources and promptly reduce the possibilities of infection both in patients and professionals. The way to interpret indications for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the time-frames usually considered to be optimal will dramatically change, particularly in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
