The impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in the United States and around the world has required significant changes to medical practice. Amidst the rapidly evolving public health emergency, hospital centers have been required to postpone elective procedures, preserve personal protective equipment (PPE), practice social distancing and limit staff exposures. Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) often need urgent evaluation, most commonly for preprocedural evaluation. We have stratified the most common indications for cardiac computed tomography (CCT) imaging in patients with CHD to help guide care for these patients during the COVID-19 pandemic including considerations for reopening.
冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对美国和世界各地的医疗实践产生了重大影响。在这一迅速演变的公共卫生紧急情况下，医院中心被迫推迟选择性手术，节约个人防护设备（PPE），实施社交隔离并限制员工暴露。患有先天性心脏病（CHD）的患者通常需要紧急评估，最常见的是术前评估。我们对 CHD 患者行心脏计算机断层扫描（CCT）成像的最常见适应证进行了分层，以帮助指导 COVID-19 大流行期间对这些患者的护理，包括重新开放的考虑因素。
