The Covid‐19 pandemic affects care for cardiovascular conditions, but data on heart failure (HF) are scarce. This study aims to analyse HF care and in‐hospital outcomes during the pandemic in Germany. A total of 9452 HF admissions were studied using claims data of 65 Helios hospitals; 1979 in the study period (13 March 30 April 2020) and 4691 and 2782 in two control periods (13 March to 30 April 2019 and 1 January to 12 March 2020). HF admissions declined compared with both control periods by 29–38%. Cardiac resynchronization therapy was implanted in 0.55% during the study period, 0.32% [odds ratio (OR) 1.66, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.68–4.04, P = 0.27] in the previous year and 0.43% (OR 1.35, 95% CI 0.64–2.84, P = 0.43) in the same year control. Intensive care treatment was 6.22% during the study period, 4.49% in the previous year (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.13–1.89, P < 0.01), and 5.27% in the same year control (OR 1.19, 95% CI 0.96–1.49, P = 0.12). Length of hospital stay was 7.0 ± 5.0 days in the study and 7.8 ± 5.6 (P < 0.01) and 7.3 ± 5.1 days (P = 0.07) in the control periods. In‐hospital mortality was 7.0% in the study and 5.5% in both control periods (P < 0.05). During the early phase of the Covid‐19 pandemic in Germany, HF treatment pathways seem not to be affected, but hospital stay shortened and in‐hospital mortality increased. As the pandemic continues, this early signal demands close monitoring and further investigation of potential causes.
