Abstract

The interplay of COVID-19 and heart failure is complex and involves direct and indirect effects. Patients with existing heart failure develop more severe COVID-19 symptoms and have worse clinical outcomes. Pandemic-related policies and protocols have negatively affected care for cardiovascular conditions and established hospital protocols, which is particularly important for patients with heart failure.

Keywords: COVID-19; Cardiogenic shock; Heart failure; Heart failure care; Indirect impacts of COVID-19; New-onset heart failure.
