Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Acute Heart Failure Admissions and Mortality: A Multicentre Study (COV-HF-SIRIO 6 Study)

Our study indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic led to (i) reduced hospital admissions for AHF; (ii) decreased number of self-referred AHF patients and increased number of AHF patients brought by an ambulance; and (iii) increased in-hospital mortality for AHF with very high mortality rate for concomitant AHF and COVID-19.
