Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has severely affected and changed medical activity worldwide. Public hospitals have been suffocated by the large number of Covid-19 patients, sometimes making it difficult for patients with other conditions to be admitted to hospital. This was also true for patients with cardiovascular disease. In the present article we describe the main variations in the activity of interventional cardiology laboratories in Romania between the pre-pandemic year 2019 and the pandemic year 2020 in private and public hospitals.
