description Few studies from various countries have reported decline in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) admissions to hospital during COVID-19 pandemic. We studied the impact of COVID-19 strict lockdown on ACS admission in a tertiary referral hospital in India. This showed 43% decline in admissions (n = 104 vs mean n = 183) and even in those who got admitted, there was a delay in presentation compared to previous year, which was reflected in the outcome of patients. Government and health organizations should educate the public early-on during the pandemic about the consequences of ignoring other acute medical problems such as ACS.
