Electrocardiographic Abnormalities in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19 and the Associations with Clinical Outcome.

ABSTRACT: The cardiovascular (CV) system can often be affected during SARS-CoV-2 infection and several acute manifestations, such as myocardial infarction, pericarditis, myocarditis and arrhythmias have been described. We provide a retrospective overview of electrocardiographic (ECG) features and their relationship with clinical outcomes in a cohort of patients admitted to our COVID-19 Unit between November 2020 and May 2021. Resting standard 12-lead ECGs were performed in all patients at admission and in those recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection also at discharge. Clinical and serological records alongside ECG measurements were retrospectively evaluated and statistical analysis was performed to identify relationships between variables. A total of 123 patients (44% females) with a mean age of 73.9
