Feature | Responding to a Pandemic: The Building of ACC's COVID-19 Hub Feb 17, 2021 A It was one year ago in March that the ACC released its first clinical bulletin addressing the cardiac implications of the novel SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus initially originating in Wuhan, China, and quickly making its way around the world. The bulletin provided background on what was soon to be an official global pandemic, assessed information on the potential cardiac implications based on analog viral respiratory pandemics and offered early clinical guidance. Of note, the bulletin cautioned clinicians to be prepared for guidance to shift as more information became available, especially given the speed at which the virus was spreading and the uncertain clinical profile.
