| Core Tip |
Coronavirus disease 2019 poses a serious threat to patients with pre-existing heart failure (HF) and might induce new-onset HF in hospitalized patients, with complex mechanisms that involve myocardial injury. Cytokine storm, described as excessive inflammation and coagulation, results in microvascular dysfunction, myocardial ischemia and myocarditis, which might not be easily distinguishable from HF. Patients with advanced HF, such as those with reduced ejection fraction, exhibit worse cardiovascular outcomes. Treatment should take into consideration patient-specific characteristics and includes a thorough cardiologic assessment along with obtainment of evidence following published guidelines. |
