Overview
There are no specific ECG findings associated with COVID-19.The ECG findings that have been reported are sinus tachycardia, ST-elevation and diffuse T wave inversion.
Electrocardiogram
- Non specific findings can include sinus tachycardia, ST-elevation and diffuse T wave inversion.[1]
- The ECG may help in identifying preexisting cardiac abnormalities and precipitating factors, such as ischemia, myocarditis, and arrhythmias.
- Most of the findings are:
- ST-T changes, atrial fibrillation,tachy-brady syndrome, and changes consistent with acute pericarditis; COVID-19 induced pericarditis might reflect the expression of ACE2 receptors in epicardial adipocites.[2]
- COVID-19 has been associated with complete heart block, acute coronary syndromes, myocarditis, decompensated heart failure, and pulmonary embolisms.[2]
- COVID-19 and acute myopericarditis:
- low voltage in the limb leads, ST-segment elevation and an ST-segment depression with T-wave inversion; Severe stages of COVID-19 have been attributed to possible hypoxia and inflammatory damage incurred by the virus.[3][4][2][5]
- Sinus rhythm with a first-degree atrioventricular block (AVB) with SITIIIQIII;Sinus tachycardia with incomplete right bundle branch block.[4][5]
- Relative bradycardia in Patients With COVID-19:
- The pathogenesis is poorly understood,cardiac pacemaker cells may be a target for inflammatory cytokines resulting in a change in heart rate dynamics or their responsiveness to neurotransmitters during systemic inflammation. Severe deterioration in some patients with COVID-19 being closely related to the cytokine storm.[6]
- The inflammatory cytokines released during the stage of overwhelming immune response, acting on the cardiac pacemaker cells could possibly contribute to bradycardia. It may be that the high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6 directly act on the sinoatrial (SA) node.[2]
