Adults with a history of heart failure, particularly HFrEF, hospitalized for COVID-19 have a substantial risk of in-hospital mortality and merit vaccine prioritization.
Abstract
Risk for in-hospital mortality was substantial among adults with history of HF, in large part due to age and comorbid conditions. History of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction may confer especially elevated risk. This population thus merits prioritization for the COVID-19 vaccine.
