==Overview==
==Overview==
[[Corona virus disease 2019]] [[COVID-19]] caused by a novel enveloped, [[positively stranded RNA]] leading to not only [[respiratory]] [[disease]], but also [[multiorgan envolvement]]. [[Cardiac]] complication is one of the manifestation of [[COVID-19]] [[infection]] and [[patients]] may present with [[heart failure]] [[disease]] as a consequence of [[COVID-19]] or exacerbation of underlying [[heart failure ]] disease. History of [[heart failure]] [[disease]], regardless of [[left ventricular ejection fraction]], may be a risk factor of severity of [[COVID-19]] [[course]]. During the pandemic, [[heart failure hospitalization]] reduced about 45% leading to increased [[in-hospital]] [[mortality]] [[rates]]. In addition, evidence of [[myocardial injury]] ranging 10-40%  in critically ill [[COVID-19]] [[patients]] and [[cardiovascular complication]]s led to increased [[incidence]] of acute or chronic [[heart failure]] [[disease]]. Few cases of [[myocarditis]] and severe [[left ventricular systolic dysfunction]] associated [[COVID-19]] have been reported. However, studies addressed  both [[systolic]] and [[diastolic]] [[left ventricular]] dysfunction, [[left ventricular]] [[diastolic]] impairnment, [[pulmonary hypertension]], [[right ventricular]] [[dysfunction]] as the consequence of [[cardiac ]] involvement in [[COVID-19]] [[patients]].
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]].

* The [[pathogenesis]] of [[heart failure]] in [[COVID-19]] has been proposed by two mechanisms of the direct and indirect effect of [[COVID-19]].
*  Factors related to indirect mechanisms are:
* [[Fever]], [[sympathetic activity]] induced [[tachycardia]] and increased [[myocardial oxygen consumption]]

**[[Focused cardiac ultrasound study]] [[(FoCUS)]]  
**[[Critical care echocardiography]]

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]

Risk Factors

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.
