Resumen
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has presented substantial challenges for providing health care due to the numerous complications on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of people. Cardiac arrhythmia is one of the cardiac complications, and it was observed in COVID-19 patients. Moreover, arrhythmia and cardiac arrest are common in COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit. The occurrence of cardiac arrhythmia in COVID-19 patients is associated with hypoxia, cytokine storm, myocardial ischemia and inflammatory disease such as congestive heart failure. It is necessary to know the occurrence and mechanisms of tachyarrhythmia and bradyarrhythmia in patients with COVID-19 infection for their proper management. This review provides an overview of the association between COVID-19 and arrhythmias by detailing possible pathophysiological mechanisms.
