"The suspension of cardiology clinics, wards and coronary intensive care units (Utic) due to Covid risks having catastrophic consequences, with an increase in the mortality of cardiological patients as early as next month".
The alarm comes from the Italian Society of Cardiology (Sic).
"In some regions, especially in the South, cardiology clinics have been closed and cardiology departments emptied because the number of infected health personnel is increasing or because many cardiology departments have been converted into Covid-19 wards", says Sic Ciro president. Indolfi.
