Public Health at the Center of Debate

pp. 371-373

Abstract

Charask et al. reveal the sudden increase in specific mortality rate for myocardial infarction during the two years of Social, Preventive and Mandatory Isolation (SPMI) and its particular impact on women and subjects <60 years. At this point, other questions should be posed. Are these two circumstances related? Can we infer causality? Could the pandemic effect on infarct mortality have been avoided or at least mitigated?... The study by Charask et al. is undoubtedly an essential element in this debate, and disregarding its results, or not learn from them, would be a highly costly error for the health of the Argentine population
