cord-253168-b095rq5i	Jiménez-Blanco Bravo, Marta	Heart Failure in the Time of COVID-19	2020-06-26		.txt	text/plain	1304	66	54	OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of a follow-up protocol established in an advanced heart failure unit at a single center in Spain during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. RESULTS: When compared to the preceding months, during the COVID pandemic there was a 56.5% reduction in the ER visits and a 46.9% reduction in hospital admissions, without an increase in mortality (9 patients died in both time periods). CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that implementing an active-surveillance protocol in acutely decompensated heart failure units during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic can reduce hospital admissions, ER visits and, potentially, viral transmission, in a cohort of especially vulnerable patients. Our study suggests that implementing an active-surveillance protocol in HFUs during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic can reduce hospital admissions, ER visits and, potentially, viral transmission, in a cohort of especially vulnerable patients.	./cache/cord-253168-b095rq5i.txt	./txt/cord-253168-b095rq5i.txt
