Sinus bradycardia during COVID-19: Cases report
Abstract
December 2019 marked the history of modern medicine and a new chapter began to be written focusing on the emergence of a new disease called COVID-19. Globally, there have been more than 140 million people infected with the virus and more than three million deaths due to this disease, declared a pandemic in 2020. COVID-19, characterized by a dominant presence of respiratory symptoms, has demonstrated its capacity to affect the cardiovascular system with the appearance of cardiac arrhythmias, myocarditis, heart failure and acute coronary syndrome; which contributed to the poor prognosis of the disease. This article presents two cases with sinus bradycardia during the course of COVID-19, an arrhythmia described in some of the SARS-CoV-2 infected cases.Downloads
