Our aim was to quantify changes in hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction according to type of myocardial infarction and regional prevalence of COVID-19, comparing the 4 weeks preceding the lockdown with the following 4 weeks, and to identify potential changes in management of patients with STEMI or NSTEMI. We included data collected on all patients admitted to intensive cardiac care units for a recent acute myocardial infarction in 21 large centres that were taking part in FRENCHIE, had begun recruitment, and were able to ensure consecutive recruitment during the lockdown period. A marked decrease in hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction was observed following the lockdown, irrespective of patient characteristics and local prevalence of COVID-19. ./cache/cord-305574-ldkri5gh.txt ./txt/cord-305574-ldkri5gh.txt
