Unlabelled: The Sars coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in increased morbidity and mortality; however, there is limited understanding of how excess mortality is distributed among different racial and ethnic subgroups and vascular diseases.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional study design using data from the United States (US) Center for Disease Control (CDC) Wide Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (Wonder) database. The database contains death certificate information for all US residents by cause of death as ascertained by the treating physician.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and iodinated contrast shortage on the educational experience of first-year interventional cardiology (IC) fellows in the U.S. and Canada.
- A survey of 111 fellows revealed that most worked long hours, predominantly in university programs, and had varied competencies with advanced procedures and technologies.
- The results show significant gaps in training, particularly in intravascular imaging, complication management, and psychological support, along with high levels of stress among fellows.
