Successful management of near-incessant bidirectional ventricular tachycardia in one-year-old child with COVID-19 infection: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The COVID-19 is an infectious disease, caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. Cardiovascular complications of COVID-19 are reported more often, from inflammatory cardiac diseases to acute coronary syndromes, thromboembolic events and arrhythmias. Sometimes, these arrhythmias may be life threatening and require urgent intervention.

Case summary

This is a case of one-year-old boy, who was referred to our hospital because of premature ventricular complexes on ECG. The child had genetic chimerism with a karyotype of 46XY(12)/46XX(3) and small patent ductus arteriosus. We observed non-sustained episodes of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (VT) on 24 h Holter monitor, which increased over time and caused multiple planned and urgent shocks, despite antiarrhythmic drugs and dee
