==Overview==
Both de novo [[acute heart failure]] and acute decompensation of [[chronic heart failure]] can occur in [[patients]] with [[COVID-19]]. [[Patients]] with [[chronic heart failure]] may be at higher risk of developing severe [[COVID-19]] infection due to advanced age and the presence of multiple [[Comorbidity|comorbidities]].

==Classification==


==[[Xyz pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
*[[Heart Failure]] ([[(HF)|HF)]] during [[COVID-19]] infection may be classified similarly to [[heart failure]] from other causes.
* In general, [[heart failure]] can be classified based on:
**'''The pathophysiology of [[heart failure]]''':
***[[Systolic heart failure|Systolic HF]] vs [[Diastolic heart failure|diastolic HF]]
***[[Left sided heart failure|Left-sided HF]] vs [[Right-sided heart failure|right-sided HF]]
**'''The duration of [[symptoms]]''':
***[[Acute Heart Failure|Acute HF]] ([[Acute heart failure|AHF]]) vs [[Chronic heart failure|chronic HF]] ([[Congestive heart failure|CHF]])
**'''The underlying physiology based on [[left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)]]:'''
***[[Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction]] [[(HFrEF)]] vs [[heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction]] [[(HFmrEF)]] and [[heart failure with preserved ejection fraction]] [[(HFpEF)]]
**'''The severity of [[heart failure]]''' (i.e., the [[New York Heart Association Class]] I-IV)
**'''The stage of congestive heart failure''' (i.e., [[AHA Class A, B, C, D]])


==[[Xyz causes|Causes]]==
*[[Acute heart failure]] has two forms:
**Newly-arisen (“de novo”) acute heart failure
**Acutely decompensated chronic heart failure (ADCHF)

==Epidemiology and Demographics==
*Data on [[incidence]] on acute [[heart failure]] in [[COVID-19]] patients is limited.
*In one study, [[acute heart failure]] was seen in 4.1% of patients with [[acute cardiac injury]]. <ref name="urlAssociation of Cardiac Injury With Mortality in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 in Wuhan, China | Global Health | JAMA Cardiology | JAMA Network">{{cite web |url=+https://doi.org/10.1001/jamacardio.2020.0950 |title=Association of Cardiac Injury With Mortality in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 in Wuhan, China &#124; Global Health &#124; JAMA Cardiology &#124; JAMA Network |format= |work= |accessdate=}}</ref>
*In a retrospective study on 191 [[COVID-19]] patients in Wuhan, China, the incidence of [[heart failure]] was 23% (52% in non-survivors vs 12% in survivors). <ref name="pmid32171076">{{cite journal |vauthors=Zhou F, Yu T, Du R, Fan G, Liu Y, Liu Z, Xiang J, Wang Y, Song B, Gu X, Guan L, Wei Y, Li H, Wu X, Xu J, Tu S, Zhang Y, Chen H, Cao B |title=Clinical course and risk factors for mortality of adult inpatients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China: a retrospective cohort study |journal=Lancet |volume=395 |issue=10229 |pages=1054–1062 |date=March 2020 |pmid=32171076 |pmc=7270627 |doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30566-3 |url=}}</ref>
=== Age ===
*[[Heart failure]] commonly affects older patients with [[COVID-19]].
=== Gender===
*There is no data on gender predilection to [[heart failure]] in [[COVID-19]].
=== Race===
*There is no data on racial predilection to [[heart failure]] [[COVID-19]].
==Risk Factors==
*The most common [[risk factors]] in the development of acute [[heart failure]] in [[COVID-19]] patients are:
**Older age
**Pre-existing [[congestive heart failure]]
**Well-established [[risk factors]] of [[heart failure]], including:
***[[Hypertension]]
***[[Coronary artery disease]]
***[[Diabetes]]
***Smoking
To read more on the [[risk factors]] of [[congestive heart failure]], [[Congestive heart failure risk factors|click here]].<br />
==Screening==
*There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for [[heart failure]] in [[COVID-19]] patients.
*Routine measurement of [[natriuretic peptides]] and/or cardiac troponins has not been recommended in the absence of a high index of suspicion for [[heart failure]] on the clinical grounds.
==Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis==
*[[COVID-19]] patients with [[chronic heart failure]] are more likely to develop severe forms of the disease.
*[[COVID-19]] patients who develop [[acute heart failure]] (either de novo acute heart failure or acute decompensated heart failure) generally have worse outcomes.
*[[Acute heart failure]] in [[COVID-19]] may progress to [[cardiogenic shock]].

**[[Distended jugular veins]]
**[[Lower extremity edema]] and/or [[ascites]]
**[[ventricular filling gallop]] [[(S3)]] and/or [[atrial gallop]] [[(S4)]] on [[cardiac auscultation]]
 
===Laboratory Findings===

**[[Natriuretic peptides]] (BNP/NT-proBNP) are released from the heart in response to increased [[myocardial stress]] and are quantitative markers of increased [[intracardiac filling pressure]].
**Elevated [[BNP]] and [[NT-proBNP]] are of both diagnostic and prognostic significance in patients with [[heart failure]].
**Increased [[BNP]] or [[NT-proBNP]] levels have been demonstrated in COVID-19 patients.
**Increased [[NT-proBNP]] level was associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with severe COVID-19.
**However, increased [[natriuretic peptide]] levels are frequently seen among patients with severe inflammatory or respiratory diseases.
**Therefore, routine measurement of [[BNP]]/[[NT-proBNP]] has not been recommended in [[COVID-19 patients]], unless there is a high suspicion of [[heart failure]] based on clinical grounds.
 
===Electrocardiogram===
 
*There is no specific electrocardiographic finding for [[acute heart failure]] in [[COVID-19]] patients.
*The ECG may help in identifying preexisting cardiac abnormalities and precipitating factors, such as [[ischemia]], [[myocarditis]], and [[arrhythmias]].
*These [[ECG]] findings may include:
**[[Low QRS Voltage]]
**[[Left ventricular hypertrophy]]
**Left atrial enlargement
**[[Left bundle branch block]]
**[[Poor R progression]]
**[[Nonspecific ST-T changes]]
 
===X-ray===
 
*A [[Chest x-ray]] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [[heart failure]]. Findings on [[chest X-ray]] suggestive of [[heart failure]] include:
**[[Cardiomegaly]]
**[[Pulmonary congestion]]
**Increased pulmonary vascular markings.
 
*However, signs of [[pulmonary edema]] may be obscured by underlying respiratory involvement and [[acute respiratory distress syndrome]] due to [[COVID-19]].
 
===Echocardiography or Ultrasound===
 
*A complete standard [[transthoracicechocardiography]] [[(TTE)]] has not been recommended in [[COVID-19]] patients considering the limited [[personal protective equipment (PPE)]] and the risk of exposure of additional health care personnel.<ref name="pmid32391912">{{cite journal |vauthors=Cosyns B, Lochy S, Luchian ML, Gimelli A, Pontone G, Allard SD, de Mey J, Rosseel P, Dweck M, Petersen SE, Edvardsen T |title=The role of cardiovascular imaging for myocardial injury in hospitalized COVID-19 patients |journal=Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging |volume=21 |issue=7 |pages=709–714 |date=July 2020 |pmid=32391912 |doi=10.1093/ehjci/jeaa136 |url=}}</ref>
*To deal with limited resources (both [[personal protective equipment]] and personnel) and reducing the exposure time of personnel, a focused [[TTE]] to find gross abnormalities in cardiac structure/function seems satisfactory.
*In addition, bedside options, which may be performed by the trained personnel who might already be in the room with these patients, might also be considered. These include:
**[[Cardiac point-of-care ultrasound]] [[(POCUS)]]
**[[Focused cardiac ultrasound study]] [[(FoCUS)]]
**[[Critical care echocardiography]]
 
*Cardiac ultrasound can help in assessing the following parameters:
**[[Left ventricular systolic function]] [[(left ventricular ejection fraction, LVEF)]] to distinguish [[systolic dysfunction]] with a [[reduced ejection fraction]] (LVEF<40%) from [[diastolic dysfunction]] with a preserved ejection fraction (LVEF>40%)
**Left ventricular [[diastolic function]]
**Left ventricular structural abnormalities, including [[left ventricular size]] and [[left ventricular wall thickness]]
**[[Left atrial size]]
**[[Right ventricular]] size and function
**Detection and quantification of [[valvular abnormalities]]
**Measurement of [[systolic pulmonary artery pressure]]
**Detection and quantification of [[pericardial effusion]]
**Detection of [[regional wall motion abnormalities]]/reduced [[strain]] that would suggest underlying [[ischemia]].
 
===CT scan===
 
*A [[Chest CT scan]] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [[pulmonary edema]] in patients with [[heart failure]].
*Findings suggestive of [[pulmonary edema]] include:
**[[Interstitial Edema]]:
***[[Gound-glass opacification]]
***Bronchovascular bundle thickening caused by increased vascular diameter and/or peribronchovascular thickening
***[[Interlobular septal thickening]]
**[[Alveolar edema]]:
***[[Airspace consolidation]] (in addition to findings of [[interstitial edema]]).

Overview

Both de novo acute heart failure and acute decompensation of chronic heart failure can occur in patients with COVID-19. Patients with chronic heart failure may be at higher risk of developing severe COVID-19 infection due to advanced age and the presence of multiple comorbidities.

Historical perspective

  • In late December 2019, the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, originated in Wuhan, China. [1]
  • The World Health Organization(WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern On January 30, 2020, [2] and a pandemic on March 12, 2020. [3]
  • On March 27, 2020, Inciardi et al. reported the first case of acute myopericarditis complicated by heart failure in an otherwise healthy 53-year-old woman one week after the onset of symptoms of COVID-19. [4]

Classification

  • Acute heart failure has two forms:
    • Newly-arisen (“de novo”) acute heart failure
    • Acutely decompensated chronic heart failure (ADCHF)

Pathophysiology



Common Precipitating factors in COVID-19 patients
Cardiac
Pressure overload
Volume overload
  • Renal dysfunction
Pulmonary
Increased systemic metabolic demand
Iatrogenic
  • Cardiovascular toxicity of medications
  • Aggressive fluid resuscitation
Others
  • Anemia

Causes

Acute heart failure in COVID-19 patients may be caused by: [10] [11]

Screening

  • There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for heart failure in COVID-19 patients.
  • Routine measurement of natriuretic peptides and/or cardiac troponins has not been recommended in the absence of a high index of suspicion for heart failure on the clinical grounds.
