Overview

The sudden cardiac death is defined as the natural death from cardiac causes developed by abrupt loss of consciousness within one hour of onset of acute change in cardiovascular status. Preexisting heart disease may or may not present at the time of cardiac arrest. Prodromes signs and symptoms of deterioration of cardiovascular status may occur weeks or months before an events. Sudden onset of chest pain, dyspnea or palpitations and other symptoms of arrhythmia may precede the onset of cardiac arrest. If cardiopulmonary resuscitation fails to restore the circulation, biologic death may occur within minutes to weeks.

Historical Perspective

  • In December 2019, the COVID-19 outbreak first appeared in China, Wuhan.[1]
  • On February 20, 2020, the first case of COVID-19 was documented in Lodi Province of Italy.[2]
  • In April 2020, An increase in out of hospital cardiac arrest was reported during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • In January 2020, the first COVID-19 case was documented in the United States.[3]


Classification

Cardiac arrest associated COVID19 may be classified into three subtypes:

1.Pulseless electerical activity

2. Bradyarrhythmia and asystolic arrest

3.letal tachyarrhythmia



Pathophysiology


  • The pathogenesis of cardiac arrest associated COVID-19 is characterized by cytokine storm, especially elevation of IL-6.[4]
  doi: 10.1038/s41577-018-0098-z

.doi: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehw208MedlineGoogle Sch

  • IL-6 inhibits cytochrome P450 enzyme involved in matobolism of some QTc prolongation drugs.[6]

Causes

The causes of ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden cardiac death in covid-19 are caracterized by:[8]PMID: 32380288

1.Environmental risk factors include:

2. Internistics risk factors includes:

3. Other mechanisms include:

  • Hypoxia causes ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death by myocardial injuries and increased in late I /NA

1.There is no risk of arrhythmia when patients affected by covid19.
  1. Epinephrine, isoproterenol, and dobutamine, all α and/or B1 receptor agonists induce ventricular arrhythmia and should be avoided

2.Fever is not the risk factor of arrhythmia

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • There is a two-times rise in the incidence of Out of hospital Sudden cardiac arrest (OHCA) during the COVID-19 pandemic as compared to the non-pandemic time period.
  • According to a study done in China, about 12% of patients with COVID-19 without a history of heart problems experience cardiac arrest during their hospitalization.[18]
  • In a study done among 761 Chinese patients with severe COVID-19, about 20% patients developed in-hospital cardiac arrest within 40 days of their hospitalization course.[19]

Mortality

Age

Gender

  • Studies show that males have a slightly higher incidence of Out of hospital Sudden cardiac arrest (OHCA) as compared to the females.[20]

Race

A higher incidence is seen among African-Americans as compared to the Caucasians.[21]

Risk Factors

    • Common risk factors in the development of arrhythmia and cardiac arrest in covid-19 are :[22]PMID: 32244059
    • fever
    • stress
    • electrolytis disrturbances
    • use of viral drugs

    • Common causes of OHCA durig covid-19 pandemic include:1.acute cardiac events ( coronary syndrome, heart failure,arrhythmia,) 2.http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.thromres.2020.04.013 thromboembolic events related to covid19 (pulmonary embolism, acute coronary syndrome)[24]

3.Acute respiratory distress and hypoxia related to covid19 4. late presentation for example acute MI in hospital due to lockdown and movement restriction 4. Overwelming of medical service 5. Myocarditis

5. Letal arrhythmia by using azithromycin and https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)31180-6 6.Myocardial injury and myocarditis

Diagnosis

Diagnostic Criteria[edit | edit source]

  • The diagnosis of sudden cardiac death is made when the following diagnostic criteria are met:
  • Prodromes phase occuring weeks or months before an event includes: new or worsening cardiovascular symptoms(chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations, fatigability)
  • Onset of terminal event occuring one hour before cardiac arrest includes:abrupt change in clinical status( arrhythmia, hypotension, chest pain, dyspnea,lightheadness)
  • Cardiac arrest includes: sudden collapse, loss of effective circulation, loss of consciousness
  • Biologic death: failure of resuscitation or failure of electerical, mechanical or CNS function after initial resuscitation


Symptoms[edit | edit source]


Physical Examination[edit | edit source

  • Physical examination may be remarkable for:
  • [finding 1]
  • [finding 2]
  • [finding 3]
  • [finding 4]
  • [finding 5]
  • [finding 6]

Laboratory Findings[edit | edit source]

  • An elevated concentration of serum cardiac troponinI was detected in severe COVID-19 patients with cardiac complications. PMID: 32382587

Imaging Findings[edit | edit source]

  • There are no imaging study findings associated with cardiac arrest in COVID-19.
