2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行正在以前所未有的方式影响全球的医疗系统和资源。根据许多医学专业协会和政府机构（如美国疾病控制和预防中心1和医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心2）的建议，在大流行高峰期的积累和衰退期间，非紧急程序和测试被取消或推迟。美国核心脏病学会（ASNC）及核医学与分子影像学会（SNMMI）于二零二零年三月底发布了一份信息声明3，其中载有2019冠状病毒病大流行期间核心脏病实验室的指南，亦建议延迟所有非紧急研究。在核心脏病学实验室中重建非紧急护理4将需要采取谨慎的方法，以继续减轻病毒传播的风险，同时为我们的患者提供关键的心血管评估。目前由ASNC，SNMMI，国际原子能机构（IAEA）和美国传染病学会（ISDA）编写的文件描述了这种重建的潜在做法，反映了美国和世界各地的不同环境。值得注意的是，这些建议主要基于专家意见，没有经过系统的检验，可能为补充指南、法规和立法以及机构感染控制政策提供指导。2在线增刊载有作者对本文件概述的几个问题的意见调查。
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is affecting healthcare systems and resources around the world in an unprecedented manner. Based on recommendations from the numerous medical specialty societies and governmental agencies such as the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1 and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 2, non-urgent procedures and tests were either canceled or postponed during the buildup to and decline from the pandemic’s peak. The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) and the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) issued an Information Statement 3 with guidance for nuclear cardiology laboratories during the COVID-19 pandemic in late March 2020 that also recommended delaying all non-urgent studies. Reestablishment of non-emergent care 4 in nuclear cardiology laboratories will require a careful approach to continue to mitigate the risk of viral transmission while also providing crucial cardiovascular assessments for our patients. The current document prepared by ASNC, SNMMI, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Infectious Disease Society of America (ISDA) describes potential practices for this reestablishment, reflecting diverse settings from the United States and worldwide. It is important to note that these recommendations are primarily based on expert opinion, not systematically tested, and may provide guidance to supplement guidelines, regulations and legislation as well as institutional infection control policies. 2 A survey of the authors’ opinions regarding several issues outlined this document is available in the online supplement.
