Moreover, we need a keen eye on deciding which pathologies have to be treated with priority: Coronary artery Disease showed a higher mortality rate in patients affected by COVID19, but it is, however, reasonable to think that all the cardiac pathologies affecting the lung circulation—such as symptomatic severe mitral diseases or aortic stenosis—might deserve a priority access to treatment, to increase the survival rate in case of an acquired‐Coronavirus infection later on. In epidemiological terms, it would be reasonable to consider a comparison of the age-profile overlap among patients who suffered from more severe COVID-19 with patients who undergo cardiac surgical procedures, since both prevalence of valvular diseases and casefatality rates for COVID-19 increase in the elderly patients.	./cache/cord-252775-faxiem2w.txt	./txt/cord-252775-faxiem2w.txt
