The Impact of COVID-19 on CAD Patient Management

Like many of you I expect, I have been thinking quite a bit about how providers can best triage and manage patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) during this incredibly difficult time of COVID-19.

Michael Poon and Michael Kim from Northwell Health’s Lenox Hill in NYC, who shared their first-hand experience being in an epicenter of the pandemic; Dr. Fred Welt from University of Utah, who was lead author on the ACC/SCAI guidance on considerations for the cath lab; and Dr. Geoff Rose from Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute, who provided important insights from an overall healthcare system perspective. Here’s what I learned:
