Number of cardiac operations and interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic according to hospitalization type. Graphs show (A) mean per cent (SD) change in the weekly number and (B) change in the total number of cardiac operations and interventions during the 3 months of lockdown, according to hospitalization type (emergency or elective). In (A), changes in relation to the same time period in 2019 were all significant (P < 0.001), for both emergency and elective hospitalizations. In the case of emergency ablation for conditions other than atrial fibrillation, but weekly rate was highly variable (median reduction: −7.14%; interquartile range −31.6 to 16.7). AF, atrial fibrillation; AVR, surgical aortic valve replacement; CABG, coronary artery bypass graft; CRT-D, cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillation; CRT-P, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacing; ICD, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; MVR, mitral valve replacement; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; PPM, permanent pacemaker; TAVI, transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
