High prevalence of COVID-19 in myocardial infarction patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

A team of scientists from Iran has recently estimated the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in myocardial infarction patients receiving a primary percutaneous coronary intervention. A considerably high prevalence of COVID-19 has been observed among study participants. The study is currently available on the Research Square* Preprint Server.
