Overview
There are no specific ECG findings associated with coronavirus infection. Non specific findings can include sinus tachycardia, ST-elevation and diffuse T wave inversion.
Electrocardiogram
- Most of the findings are ST-T abnormalities,and left ventricular hypertrophy, atrial fibrillation,tachy-brady syndrome, and changes consistent with acute pericarditis.[1]
- COVID-19 has been associated with complete hart block, acute coronary syndromes, myocarditis, decompensated heart failure, and pulmonary embolisms.[1]
- COVID-19 and acute myopericarditis:
- low voltage in the limb leads, minimal diffuse ST-segment elevation (more prominent in the inferior and lateral leads), and an ST-segment depression with T-wave inversion in lead V1 and aVR.[2]
- ECG signs of acute pericarditis concave ST elevation and PR depression throughout most of the limb (I, II, III, aVL, aVF) and precordial (V2-V6) leads, reciprocal ST depression and PR elevation in aVR, and a ST segment/T wave ratio> 0.25. COVID-19 induced pericarditis might reflect the expression of ACE2 receptors in epicardial adipocites, mediating the cell entry of SARS-CoV-2 and possibly triggering local inflammation.[1]
- There are no specific ECG findings associated with coronavirus infection.
- Non specific findings can include sinus tachycardia, ST-elevation and diffuse T wave inversion.[3]
