Atrial Tachycardia Masquerading As Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (IST) After COVID-19 Infection: A Matter of Concern?

COVID-19 Infection has wrecked havoc all over the world; the spectrum of this disease ranges from asymptomatic mild cases to severe cases such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Not only the acute infection but post COVID sequelae are also a cause of concern. Post-COVID states or Long CO...

description COVID-19 Infection has wrecked havoc all over the world; the spectrum of this disease ranges from asymptomatic mild cases to severe cases such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Not only the acute infection but post COVID sequelae are also a cause of concern. Post-COVID states or Long COVID are the sequences of complications following the active infection. As post COVID sequelae are unpredictable it is absolutely the need of the hour to educate physicians and make them aware of all possibilities. We report one such case of a post COVID recovered young lady, who presented with drug-refractory recurrent palpitations. She was initially suspected to have inappropriate sinus tachycardia. But electrophysiological study confirmed the diagnosis of atrial tachycardia which was successfully ablated. The patient now has completed six months of follow-up and is off any medication.
