| ==== Pathophysiology: ====
| |
| Respiratory disease is the chief target of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). One-third of patients with severe disease also reported other symptoms including [[Cardiac arrhythmia|arrhythmia]]. According to a study done in Wuhan, China, 16.7% of hospitalized and 44.4% of ICU patients with COVID-19 had arrhythmias. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) utilizes S-spike to bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors to enter the cells. Type 1 and type 2 [[pneumocytes]] exhibit ACE 2 receptors in the lung. Studies report that coronary [[endothelial cells]] in the heart and intrarenal endothelial cells and renal tubular epithelial cells in the kidney exhibit ACE2. ACE2 is an inverse regulator of the [[renin-angiotensin system]]. The interaction between SARS-CoV2 and ACE2 can bring about changes in ACE2 pathways prompting intense injury to the lung, heart, and [[Endothelium|endothelial cells]]. [[Hypoxemia|Hypoxia]] and [[Electrolyte disturbance|electrolyte abnormalities]] that are common in the acute phase of severe [[COVID-19]] can potentiate [[Cardiac arrhythmia|cardiac arrhythmias]]. Binding of SARS-CoV-2 to ACE2 receptors can result into [[hypokalemia]] which causes various types of [[Cardiac arrhythmia|arrhythmia]]. Elevated levels of [[Cytokine|cytokines]] as a result of the [[Systemic inflammatory response syndrome|systemic inflammatory response]] of the severe [[COVID-19|Coronavirus disease 2019]] (COVID-19) can cause injury to multiple organs, including [[Cardiac muscle|cardiac myocytes]]. According to the data based on studies on previous [[Severe acute respiratory syndrome]] ([[Severe acute respiratory syndrome|SARS]]) and the [[Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection|Middle East respiratory syndrome]] ([[Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection|MERS]]) epidemic and the ongoing [[COVID-19]] outbreak, multiple mechanisms have been suggested for cardiac damage.

| ==== Signs and Symptoms: ====
| |
| Arrhythmia or conduction system disease is the nonspecific clinical presentation of COVID-19. Patients may be tachycardic (with or without palpitations) in the setting of other COVID-19-related symptoms (eg, fever, shortness of breath, pain, etc).
| |
|
| |
| *'''Palpitations:''' According to a study done in Hubei province,[[Palpitation|palpitations]] were reported as a presenting symptom by 7.3 percent of patients.
| |
| *'''Prolong QT Interval:''' According to a multicenter study done in New York that involved 4250 COVID-19 patients, 260 patients (6.1 percent) had [[QT interval|corrected QT interval]] (QTc) >500 milliseconds at the time of admittance. However, in another study that involved 84 patients who got [[hydroxychloroquine]] and [[azithromycin]], the baseline QTc interval was 435 milliseconds before receiving these medications.
| |
| *'''Atrial Arrhythmia:''' According to a study, among 393 patients with COVID-19, [[Cardiac arrhythmia|atrial arrhythmias]] were more common among patients requiring invasive [[mechanical ventilation]] than noninvasive [[mechanical ventilation]] (17.7 versus 1.9 percent)
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ventricular Arrhythmia:''' According to a study done in Wuhan, China. among 187 hospitalized patients with [[COVID-19]], 11 patients (5.9 percent) developed [[Ventricular arrhythmias|ventricular tachyarrhythmias]].
