The COVID pandemic disrupted the delivery of care for patients with heart failure (HF), leading to fewer hospitalisations and increased mortality. However, nationwide data on quality of care and long-term outcomes across the pandemic are scarce.
We used data from England to investigate secondary care management and outcomes for patients with HF before, during and after the pandemic.
