Popis: Study objective: The association of prior to admission guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) use in patients hospitalized with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF, ejection fraction ≤40 %) and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) with in-hospital outcomes has not been well studied. Design/setting/participants/interventions/outcome measures: Using the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines Heart Failure Registry, we identified HFrEF patients presenting with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and compared rates of GDMT prescription between those presenting prior to and during the pandemic. In a subgroup of patients with a concomitant COVID-19 diagnosis, we evaluated the association of prior to admission GDMT use with in-hospital mortality and severe COVID-19. Results: 23,899 patients were admitted with HFrEF during the pandemic (2/16/20–3/24/21) and 26,459 patients were admitted in the year prior (2/16/19–2/15/20). In this overall cohort, prior to admission ACEI/ARB/ARNI (45.6 % vs 48.1 %, p
