The incidence of mechanical complications of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) needing cardiac surgery has reduced significantly in the last years due to early diagnosis and treatments. Covid-19 pandemic, however, would generate in the patients a sense of fear regarding access to the ERs so they probably underestimate symptoms such as chest pain or angina equivalents until situation does not became critical. In this way, this behaviour could create a vast pool of patients who will enter the hospital in much more critical situations and with mechanical complications of an evolving ACS needing cardiac surgery treatment.
