Abstract
This study investigated whether the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated disparities in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treatment and outcomes among Medicare patients. Using national Medicare data, the researchers analyzed revascularization rates, mortality, readmissions, and non-home discharges in hospitals with varying COVID-19 burdens. While worse outcomes were observed in patients with NSTEMI in hospitals with high COVID-19 burdens, no significant increase in disparities was found between racial and ethnic groups during the pandemic, although pre-existing disparities remained notable.
