Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly around the world since December 2019. Acute heart failure has accounted for 23-24% of the initial presentations in patients with COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, COVID-19 might increase metabolic demand and cause acute decompensation of pre-existing stable heart failure. These patients are thus more susceptible to the evolution of more serious clinical symptoms and a higher mortality rate. Given the lack of knowledge about this new disease, this review provides recommendations for the management of heart failure during the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan.
自2019年12月以来,2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)已在全球迅速传播。急性心力衰竭在COVID-19感染患者的初始表现中占23%-24%。此外,COVID-19可能会增加代谢需求,并导致既往稳定的心力衰竭急性失代偿。因此,这些患者更容易出现更严重的临床症状,死亡率也更高。鉴于对这种新疾病缺乏了解,本综述为台湾地区COVID-19大流行期间心力衰竭的管理提供了建议。
