Association between rhythm-conduction disorders and COVID-19 infection

Abstract

The paper highlights the correlation between COVID-19 and the heightened susceptibility to arrhythmia - a cardiac rhythm disturbance, in hospitalised individuals. The data indicates a significant positive link between the quantity of COVID-19 instances and the number of patients with rhythm pathology. The COVID-19 infection is linked to an increased risk of arrhythmia. The precise ways in which COVID-19 harms the heart tissue and leads to rhythm and conduction disturbances are not completely known and necessitate additional investigation. Moreover, research indicates that a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection may increase the likelihood of rhythm complications.
