Abstract

This retrospective cohort study will describe both the patient and system delay and also the occurrence of cardiovascular complications and mortality of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during the different phases of lockdown since the COVID-19 outbreak in the Netherlands. These results will be compared with the results from 2019 and in doing so regional differences between the Northern Netherlands (low-endemic region) and North Brabant (high-endemic region) will be described.
