The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Cardiology Services	2020-06-16		.txt	text/plain	3858	355	66	Conclusion: As ischaemic heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death nationally and globally, cardiology services need to prepare for a significant increase in workload in the recovery phase and develop new pathways to urgently help those adversely affected by the changes in service provisions. 5 In line with government guidelines, cardiology services had to alter the delivery of care by adopting virtual clinic models, redeployment of staff to the acute medical services and rescheduling of non-urgent procedures while at the same time dealing with the cardiac complications of COVID-19 such as myocarditis, myocardial infarction and heart failure. Since ischaemic heart disease is the leading cause of death, 7 it is necessary to assess the impact of the lockdown and healthcare restructuring on the performance of cardiology service provision and the changes needed to prepare for the recovery phase and a potential rebound surge of clinical activity.	./cache/cord-261860-gfcm0q3p.txt	./txt/cord-261860-gfcm0q3p.txt
