Review Article Costa et al. Cardiovascular Imaging and Interventional Procedures Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 115(1):111-126 Conclusions The exponential growth in the number of patients with COVID-19 has been a huge burden on health services, requiring the urgent adoption of measures that can contain the virus and restrain its spread. Patients with COVID-19 have cardiovascular complications and often require diagnostic imaging tests and procedures to support their management. The correct identification of patients who need imaging tests and interventional procedures should be judicious, careful, and ethical, prioritizing the patient’s health and the rational use of resources.
