During the early COVID-19 pandemic, resources were at times rationed, and as a result, cardiovascular outcomes may have suffered, however despite this, there is a paucity of national data specifically examining the relationship between COVID-19 and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Some of the most robust previous cohort studies suggest the risk of AMI is increased in patients with COVID-19 infection, and disproportionately so in certain patient populations. To better define national trends in the associations between COVID-19 and AMI, this study aimed to examine demographics, outcomes, and health care utilization in hospitalizations for AMI with a codiagnosis of COVID-19 using a nationally representative database.
