Clinical utility of ambulatory ECG monitoring and 2D-ventricular strain for evaluation of post-COVID-19 ventricular arrhythmia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A relatively common complication of COVID -19 infection is arrhythmia. There is limited information about myocardial deformation and heart rate variability (HRV) in symptomatic post COVID patients presented by ventricular arrhythmia.

Aim of the study

Our goal was to assess 2D-ventricular strain and heart rate variability indices (evaluated by ambulatory ECG monitoring) in post-COVID-19 patients suffering from ventricular arrhythmia.

Methods

The current observational case-control study performed on 60 patients one month after they had recovered from the COVID-19 infection. Thirty healthy volunteers served as the control group. Each participant had a full medical history review, blood tests, a 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG), 24-h ambulatory ECG monit
