AI에 의해 보고됨
After a surge during the COVID-19 pandemic, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure volumes in U.S. hospitals dropped by about 5% in 2022 compared to the previous year. Data from the American College of Cardiology's CathPCI Registry highlights this trend, reflecting ongoing recovery challenges in cardiology care. Experts attribute the decline to lingering effects of the pandemic on patient volumes and procedural backlogs.
