The coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) infection pandemic has affected the care of patients with heart failure (HF) who have contracted COVID-19 as well as those without COVID-19 who have been impacted by the restructuring of health care delivery. Patients with HF and other cardiovascular comorbidities are at risk for severe disease and complications of infection. Similarly, COVID-19 has been demonstrated to cause myocarditis and may be implicated in new-onset cardiomyopathy. During this pandemic, special considerations are needed for patients with advanced HF, including those supported by durable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and heart transplant recipients. The purpose of this review is to summarize emerging data regarding the development of HF secondary to COVID-19 infection in patients with advanced HF and the implications of the pandemic for care of uninfected patients with HF.

2019 冠状病毒 (COVID-19) 感染大流行影响了感染 COVID-19 的心力衰竭 (HF) 患者以及受到医疗保健服务重组影响的未感染 COVID-19 的患者的护理。患有心力衰竭和其他心血管合并症的患者面临严重疾病和感染并发症的风险。同样，COVID-19 已被证明会引起心肌炎，并可能与新发心肌病有关。在这次大流行期间，需要特别考虑晚期心力衰竭患者，包括那些由耐用左心室辅助装置 (LVAD) 和心脏移植受者支持的患者。本综述的目的是总结有关晚期心力衰竭患者继发于 COVID-19 感染的心力衰竭的新数据，以及该流行病对未感染心力衰竭患者的护理的影响。
