CONCLUSIONS: LC is associated with sustained increases in healthcare utilisation and costs in England and Wales. Our findings suggest that system-level service design may influence healthcare use and costs following COVID-19, warranting further evaluation of post-viral care models.

Late diagnosis of Heart failure (HF) is associated with worse outcomes. We aimed to develop a scalable tool to identify those at high risk of undiagnosed HF using routine electronic health records (EHR). We developed and internally validated a logistic regression (FIND-HF) model for incident HF diagnosis within one year in United Kingdom primary care EHRs (CPRD-Aurum, n=3 520 186), with good prediction performance (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) 0.79), equal to more...

Heart failure (HF) remains a pressing health concern, with rising prevalence globally. Subjectivity and ambiguity in the definition of HF and its antecedent stages have limited research, global surveillance, and prevention programs. To address this, several cardiac societies and foundations convened to standardize the definition of HF in 2021 and designated stage B or pre-HF to identify individuals at risk of developing HF. In subsequent years, substantial progress and changes have been made in...

CONCLUSION: This review indicates that PASC is associated with modest, subclinical alterations in cardiac function. These alterations appear more pronounced in older adults and those with cardiometabolic comorbidities, highlighting the potential value of risk-stratified cardiovascular surveillance in individuals with PASC. The long-term clinical relevance of these changes remains unclear and warrants further study.
