Times Series of Daily Admissions With HF and MI The daily admission data were presented for heart failure (HF) and myocardial infarction (MI) from November 1, 2019, to November 17, 2020 (30,380 admissions) (A) and from November 1, 2018, to November 17, 2019 (33,831 admissions) (B). Daily hospitalizations were plotted in a scatterplot and fitted with a smooth curve using local weighted scatterplot smoothing technique for HF and acute MI, respectively. The peak and nadir of daily hospitalizations were derived from the fitted curve. (Updates of the figure will be available at the University of Leeds’s Cardiovascular Research Into the COVID-19 Virus website.) COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019; WHO = World Health Organization.
