“Study Highlights Drop in Aortic Dissection Cases in New York During COVID-19 Pandemic”
A Mount Sinai study designed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the incidence of acute aortic dissection cases in New York City hospitals found a significant drop in acute aortic dissection cases in New York City since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. “This study highlights the potential unintended toll of the pandemic. This goes far beyond aortic dissections; it is an important public health message that applies to all medical conditions,” explains Dr. Ismail El-Hamamsy, director of Aortic Surgery for the Mount Sinai Health System in New York, USA.
