Temporal trends in decompensated heart failure and outcomes during COVID‐19: a multisite report from heart failure referral centres in London

Admission rates for acute decompensated heart failure (HF) declined during the COVID‐19 pandemic. However, the impact of this reduction on hospital mortality is unknown. We describe temporal trends in the presentation of patients with acute HF and their in‐hospital outcomes at two referral centres in London during the COVID‐19 pandemic.
