Excess deaths during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have been largely attributed to cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, patterns in CVD hospitalizations after the first surge of the pandemic have not well-documented. Our brief report, examining trends in health care avoidance documents that CVD hospitalizations decreased in Chicago before significant burden of COVID-19 cases or deaths and normalized during the first COVID-19 surge. These data may help to inform health care systems responses in the coming months while mobilizing vaccinations to the population at large.
在 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，超额死亡主要归因于心血管疾病（CVD）；然而，大流行第一波过后 CVD 住院的模式并没有很好地记录下来。我们的简要报告研究了回避医疗保健的趋势，这些数据表明，在 COVID-19 病例或死亡的显著负担出现之前，芝加哥的 CVD 住院人数减少，并在 COVID-19 第一波期间恢复正常。这些数据可能有助于为未来几个月的医疗保健系统应对提供信息，同时向广大民众动员疫苗接种。
