The long COVID: Findings of 24 rhythmic Holter in patients suffering from palpitations

INTRODUCTION: Many patients showed long COVID syndrome after recovery from the CORONAVIRUS – SARS infection (40–50%). Many patients showed palpitations and we do not know the cause of these palpitations. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is an observational study including patients showing palpitations aft...

Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Many patients showed long COVID syndrome after recovery from the CORONAVIRUS – SARS infection (40–50%). Many patients showed palpitations and we do not know the cause of these palpitations. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is an observational study including patients showing palpitations after recovery from the COVID-19. We analyzed the results of 24 hours recording as well as echocardiographic findings and we analysed the correlation between myocardial strain and rhythms disorders. RESULTS: Among 2338 COVID-19 patients, 45% showed long COVID symptoms at 30 days, 7% patients suffered from palpitations. We noted an inappropriate sinusal tachycardia in 60% of cases, 3 cases of ventricle disorders arrhythmia disorders. Longitudinal strain was significantly lower in patients who showed arrhythmia in the 24 recordings than in patients with normal 24 hours rhythm recordings. CONCLUSION: There is correlation between rhythmic disorders and myocardial damages in patients who showed COVID-19.
