          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: En todo el mundo, durante la pandemia de COVID-19 los centros asistenciales y especialmente los cuidados intensivos se vieron saturados por los casos de insuficiencia respiratoria aguda producidos por el virus SARS-CoV-2. El aislamiento social, preventivo y obligatorio (ASPO) establecido por Ley N° 27.541 desde el 20 de marzo de 2020, y ampliado por el Decreto N° 260/20 hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2021, determinó el confinamiento en domicilio. Durante el mismo se observó una disminución de las angioplastias coronarias y cirugías cardíacas centrales. La hipótesis de nuestro trabajo es que hubo un incremento de la mortalidad por el infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM) en la Argentina en el periodo de pandemia, dado que es una patología tiempo dependiente y cuya mortalidad es mayormente extrahospitalaria. Objetivos: Evaluar el incremento de la mortalidad general y por COVID-19 en la población ≥ 20 años en el periodo de pandemia y analizar la tendencia de mortalidad del IAM en forma global y segregada por edad y sexo. Material y métodos: Se analizaron las estadísticas vitales publicadas por el Ministerio de Salud de la Argentina. Se consideró período de pandemia de acuerdo con los 2 años del ASPO, y prepandemia al año 2019. Se consideró tasa bruta y específica de mortalidad al (número de defunciones acaecidas en la población de la Argentina durante 1 año / población total en la misma zona a mitad del mismo año) × 1000, global y por IAM respectivamente. Las defunciones por IAM son las consideradas en el CIE-10 como I21, I22. La tendencia de mortalidad se analizó por el análisis lineal de tendencias de proporciones (Chi2 de tendencias; p significativa < 0,05) con Epi-info y se incluyó a la población ≥20 años. En el análisis por edad se dividió a la población en ≥ o < 60 años. Resultados: la mortalidad en pandemia se incrementó un 26% con respecto al año 2019 (p < 0,001) (tabla). Las defunciones por COVID-19 fueron 53 222 y 84 698 para los años 2020 y 2021 respectivamente. La mortalidad por IAM se incrementó un 15%, con un aumento mayor en jóvenes y mujeres. Conclusión: En la pandemia hubo un fuerte incremento de la mortalidad, atribuible al COVID-19, y un incremento de la mortalidad por infarto agudo de miocardio en especial en mujeres y menores de 60 años, probablemente atribuible a los efectos secundarios del ASPO.

          ABSTRACT Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, health care centers and especially intensive care units worldwide were saturated by cases of acute respiratory failure produced by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Social preventive and mandatory isolation (SPMI), established by law N° 27 541 since March 20, 2020, and extended by Decree N° 260/20 to December 31, 2021, determined home confinement, and during this period coronary angioplasties and central cardiac surgeries decreased. The hypothesis of our study was that during the pandemic acute myocardial infarction (AMI) increased in Argentina, as this is a time-dependent disease, mainly with out-of-hospital mortality. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate general and COVID-19 mortality in the population ≥20 years during the pandemic and analyze the trend of overall and divided by age and sex AMI mortality. Methods: Vital statics published by the Ministry of Health of Argentina were analyzed, considering the pandemic period as the two SPMI years and 2019 as the pre-pandemic period. Overall and AMI gross and specific rate of mortality were considered as (number of deaths taking place in the Argentine population during 1 year / total population in the same zone at midyear) × 1000, respectively. Deaths for AMI were those contemplated in the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD-10) as I21, I22. The mortality trend was analyzed with linear trend in proportions (Chi2 for trends; significant p < 0.05) using Epi-Info software, and including the ≥20 to >85-year population. In the analysis by age the population was divided into ≥ or < 60 years. Results: During the pandemic mortality increased by 26% with respect to 2019 (p < 0.001) (table). Deaths for COVID-19 were 53 222 and 84 698 for 2020 and 2021, respectively. Acute myocardial infarction mortality increased by 15%, with a greater number of deaths in the young and female population.

              COVID-19 and cardiovascular disease: from basic mechanisms to clinical perspectives

              Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by a strain of coronavirus known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a global pandemic that has affected the lives of billions of individuals. Extensive studies have revealed that SARS-CoV-2 shares many biological features with SARS-CoV, the zoonotic virus that caused the 2002 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, including the system of cell entry, which is triggered by binding of the viral spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. Clinical studies have also reported an association between COVID-19 and cardiovascular disease. Pre-existing cardiovascular disease seems to be linked with worse outcomes and increased risk of death in patients with COVID-19, whereas COVID-19 itself can also induce myocardial injury, arrhythmia, acute coronary syndrome and venous thromboembolism. Potential drug–disease interactions affecting patients with COVID-19 and comorbid cardiovascular diseases are also becoming a serious concern. In this Review, we summarize the current understanding of COVID-19 from basic mechanisms to clinical perspectives, focusing on the interaction between COVID-19 and the cardiovascular system. By combining our knowledge of the biological features of the virus with clinical findings, we can improve our understanding of the potential mechanisms underlying COVID-19, paving the way towards the development of preventative and therapeutic solutions.
