Sumario: | In the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV2 virus, arrhythmias were not in the foreground. However, the virus seems to affect many organs and the cardiac tropism is now well known. Knowledge in this area is still far from exhaustive, but several series published concerning patients with COVID-19 find a significant proportion of arrhythmias, some of which can potentially lead to a fatal outcome. These rhythm disorders are mainly supraventricular, such as atrial fibrillation (AF) or flutter but also ventricular disorders like ventricular tachycardias (VT) ventricular fibrillation (VF) and more rarely torsades de pointe (TdP). The causes are multiple, due to the multiorgan damage caused by the virus and potential drug interactions. In addition, the question of monitoring rhythm disorders that may emerge in the medium and long term after an infection remains to be explored. |
