Conclusions:
This systematic review with a meta-analysis provides, to date, the most comprehensive summary of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on CV services and individuals with CV disease. From 189 articles, we show evidence of fewer hospitalizations, procedures, and consultations with increased mortality amongst in-hospital and community populations. We identified disparity by geographical region and country income classification in the availability of data and the severity of the detrimental effect of the pandemic on CV services, and presently there are insufficient data to fully characterize the effects to CV services in LMICs. Notwithstanding this, we provide synthesized evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in substantial global collateral CV damage.
