During the COVID-19 pandemic, reductions in heart failure (HF) hospitalizations have been widely reported  with early evidence of worse long-term outcomes for those who are admitted. Additionally, since the first reports of cases of COVID-19 in December 2019, considerable progress has been made in understanding how patients with HF and COVID-19 should be managed. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic moves only slowly towards an endemic situation, and with variable rates of vaccination globally, there is an urgent need to understand and learn from how HF specialists have reorganized HF care in countries with different infection levels, vaccination rates and healthcare services.
