Abstract

In the midst of the global pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19, development of approaches taking into account the prevailing realities, in the clinical management of special groups of patients comprise a special need. Obviously, that patients with structural heart disease are high risk for adverse outcomes from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) based on their advanced age and numerous comorbidities. Mortality from COVID-19 in patients aged 70 to 79 years reaches ≥ 8%, aged ≥ 80 years – 14.8%, in the presence of concomitant cardiovascular diseases, regardless of age, up to 10.5%. The main goal in current situation is to ensure timely treatment of cardiac patients, reduce the risk of expose COVID-19, both patients and medical personnel, and optimize the limited resources.
