Coronavirus disease pandemic has caused a dramatic reduction of elective and urgent interventional cardiology procedures, with a negative impact on training of interventional cardiology fellows. This study showed that 95% of interventional cardiology fellows during the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic believe that their training would be moderately or severely impacted by the health crisis. Interventional cardiology programs need to reorganize in order to ensure safe pathways for both urgent and elective cases, primarily for patients' care but also to grant an adequate caseload for trainees.
冠状病毒病大流行导致择期和紧急介入心脏病学手术大幅减少,对介入心脏病学研究员的培训产生了负面影响。本研究表明,COVID-19 大流行第一波期间,95%的介入心脏病学研究员认为,这场卫生危机将对他们的培训产生中度或严重影响。介入心脏病学项目需要进行重组,以确保紧急和择期病例的安全途径,这主要是为了患者的护理,但也要为学员提供足够的病例量。
