Tomasoni D, Inciardi RM, Lombardi CM, et al. - Researchers here examined if and how a history of heart failure (HF) associates with the prognosis of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). They assesses a total of 692 consecutive patients admitted for COVID‐19 (Mean age: 67.4 ± 13.2 years; 69.5% males) in 13 Italian cardiology centres; of these, 90 (13.0%) had a history of HF. An extremely poor outcome, with higher mortality and in‐hospital complications, was reported for hospitalized patients with COVID‐19 and a history of HF. Findings suggested an independent predictive value of HF history for increased in‐hospital mortality.
