Intermittent left bundle branch block with septal flash and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome in a young woman with long COVID-19
The emerging entity, long COVID -19 is characterised by long-lasting dyspnoea, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and other symptoms. Cardiac involvement manifested as conduction abnormalities, left ventricle mechanical dyssynchrony, dyspnoea, palpitation and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (P...

description | The emerging entity, long COVID -19 is characterised by long-lasting dyspnoea, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and other symptoms. Cardiac involvement manifested as conduction abnormalities, left ventricle mechanical dyssynchrony, dyspnoea, palpitation and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) are common in long COVID-19. The direct viral damage to the myocardium or immune-mediated inflammation are postulated mechanisms. A woman in her forties presented with a 2-month history of chest pain, functional dyspnoea, palpitation and an episode of syncope after having been home-isolated for mild COVID infection. During clinical workup, a clustering of ECG and echocardiographic abnormalities including left bundle branch block, septal flash, and presystolic wave on spectral Doppler echocardiography, and POTS were detected. The echocardiographic findings together with POTS and persistent dyspnoea indicated the presence of a long COVID-19 state. The prevalence and clinical significance of these finding, as well as the impact on long-term prognosis, should be investigated in future studies. |
