19th January 2021 – Written by Bhvita Jani – Featured on Diagnostic and Interventional Cardiology – With the postponement of non-essential elective surgeries and medical procedures in 2020 to conserve medical resources for COVID-19 patients during the start of the pandemic, cardiovascular procedures were severely impacted.
