Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality of patients with STEMI: a systematic review and meta-analysis

This review (10 studies; n=50,123) found overall reduction in admission rates for STEMI during the pandemic (IRR 0.79; 95% CI 0.73-0.85), but no difference in hospital mortality compared to those with STEMI admitted before the pandemic; time to first medical contact was similar.
