Atrioventricular and Sinus Node Dysfunction in Stable COVID-19 Patients

There are now well-documented cardiac complications of COVID-19 infection which include myocarditis, heart failure, and acute coronary syndrome resulting from coronary artery thrombosis or SARS-CoV-2-related plaque ruptures. There is growing evidence showing that arrhythmias are also one of the majo...

Sumario:There are now well-documented cardiac complications of COVID-19 infection which include myocarditis, heart failure, and acute coronary syndrome resulting from coronary artery thrombosis or SARS-CoV-2-related plaque ruptures. There is growing evidence showing that arrhythmias are also one of the major complications. We report two patients with no known history of cardiac conduction disease who presented with COVID-19 symptoms, positive SARS-CoV-2 infection, and developed cardiac conduction abnormalities. Cardiac conduction system disease involving the sino-atrial (SA) node and atrioventricular (AV) node could be a manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
