Reduction in U.S. Cardiovascular Procedure Volumes by Diagnostic Test and Region

Clustered bar graphs display the number of procedures for March 2019 (red), March 2020 (green), and April 2020 (blue) for each test and each U.S. region. TTE was the most represented diagnostic test in the study, followed by stress tests and ICA procedures. The greatest declines in the volume of procedures were seen in stress tests, CCTA, CMR, and CAC. Regional declines were greatest in the Northeast and Midwest, followed by the South and West. PET infection is not shown in the figure due to the small sample size. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
