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
- Heart Failure (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:
- The duration of symptoms:
- Acute HF (AHF) vs chronic HF (CHF)
- The underlying physiology based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF):
- 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)
- Acute heart failure has two forms:
- Newly-arisen (“de novo”) acute heart failure
- Acutely decompensated chronic heart failure (ADCHF)
Pathophysiology
- Presumed pathophysiologic mechanisms for the development of new or decompensated heart failure in patients with COVID-19 include:[5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
- Acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure caused by precipitating factors
- Acute myocardial injury (which in turn can be caused by several mechanisms)
- Stress cardiomyopathy (i.e., Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) [10] [11]
- Impaired myocardial relaxation resulting in diastolic dysfunction [i.e., Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) ]
- Right-sided heart failure, secondary to pulmonary hypertension caused by hypoxia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
| Common Precipitating factors in COVID-19 patients |

|
| Pressure overload |
|
| Volume overload |
|
|
| Pulmonary |
| Increased systemic metabolic demand |
| Iatrogenic |

|
| Others |

Causes
Acute heart failure in COVID-19 patients may be caused by: [10] [11]
- Acute myocardial injury
- Acute coronary syndromes
- Myocarditis
- Hypertensive crisis
- Arrhythmias: Tachycardia or severe bradycardia
- Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy)
- Circulatory failure:
- Iatrogenic

- For further information about the differential diagnosis, click here.
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. [12]
- 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). [13]
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:
To read more on the risk factors of congestive heart failure, click here.
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.
Diagnosis
History and Symptoms
- The most common symptoms of acute heart failure in COVID-19 patients are:
- New or worsening dyspnea: may overlap with dyspnea caused by concomitant respiratory involvement and acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19
- Orthopnea
- Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
- Peripheral edema
- Fatigue
- Palpitations
- Other common symptoms include:
- Confusion and altered mental status
- Cool extremities
- Cyanosis
- Dizziness
- Syncope
- Hemoptysis
Physical Examination
- Physical examination of patients with acute heart failure is usually remarkable for:
- Tachycardia
- Crackles on lung auscultation
- Distended jugular veins
- Lower extremity edema and/or ascites
- ventricular filling gallop (S3) and/or atrial gallop (S4) on cardiac auscultation
Laboratory Findings
- Cardiac Troponins: [14]
- Elevated cardiac troponin levels suggest the presence of myocardial cell injury or death.
- Cardiac troponin levels may increase in patients with chronic or acute decompensated heart failure.
- Natriuretic Peptides: [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]
- 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.[23]
- 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 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).
- Interstitial Edema:
- In patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema, caused by increased pulmonary vasculature hydrostatic pressure, bilateral pleural effusions are also frequently seen.
CMR
- Due to the risk of contamination of equipment and staff, performing Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) should be limited to clinically urgent cases.
- Cardiac magnetic resonance may be helpful in patients suspicious of acute myocarditis, in particular when elevated cardiac biomarkers, ventricular dysfunction and/or severe arrhythmias cannot be explained by other diagnostics and imaging studies.

Treatment
Medical Therapy
- Acute heart failure in the setting of COVID-19 is generally treated similarly to acute heart failure in other settings. These may include:
- Fluid restriction
- Diuretic therapy
- Vasopressors and/or inotropes
- Beta-blockers should not be initiated during the acute stage due to their negative inotropic effects.[24]
- Patients with chronic heart failure are recommended to continue their previous guideline-directed medical therapy, including beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors or Angiotensin II receptor blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. [25]
Interventional therapy
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be helpful in patients with cardiogenic shock unresponsive to medical therapy.
Surgery
- The mainstay of treatment for acute heart failure is medical therapy.
- Ventricular assisted devices are usually reserved for patients with cardiogenic shock.
Primary Prevention
- There are no established measures for the primary prevention of heart failure in patients with COVID-19.
Secondary Prevention
- During fluid management in heart failure patients, attempts would be done to prevent both volume overload and circulatory failure.
- Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) should be used with caution in patients with acute heart failure due to their effect on fluid and sodium retention.[26]
