[Clinical characteristics and risk factors for mortality upon admission in patients with heart failure hospitalized due to COVID-19 in Spain].
There are few studies on patients with heart failure (HF) hospitalized for COVID-19. Our aim is to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with HF hospitalized for COVID-19 and identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality upon admission. ⋯ Patients with HF hospitalized for COVID-19 have a high in-hospital mortality rate. Some simple clinical and laboratory tests can help to identify patients with a worse prognosis.

As the coronavirus-2019 disease (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) coronavirus type 2, has progressed, persistent COVID-19 syndrome is an increasingly recognized problem on which a significant volume of medical literature is developing. Symptoms may be persistent or appear, after an asymptomatic period, weeks or months after the initial infection. The clinical picture is as markedly heterogeneous and multisystemic as in the acute phase, so multidisciplinary management is required. ⋯ Although it can affect people of any age, it is more common in middle-aged women. The sequelae can generate a high impact on the quality of life, and in the work and social environment. The objective of this paper is to review persistent COVID-19 syndrome, to know its clinical manifestations and the strategies for the management and follow-up of these patients.
