Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease which
has rapidly evolved into a pandemic. Though it has affected all
disciplines of medical sciences but it has some serious implications
pertaining to cardiovascular sciences which have presented unique
challenges in front of cardiac surgeons in particular. To flatten the
curve of this pandemic, routine cardiac surgeries are being deferred
indefinitely resulting in the pool of sick cardiac patients rising day
by day. A different perspective is presented on this global catastrophe
from the viewpoint of a cardiac surgeon.
