Multiple Sinus Pauses in a Patient With COVID-19
Copyright © 2021, Olagunju et al..
Cardiovascular complications in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have been associated with poor prognosis. Myocarditis, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, and arrhythmia have been reported. We present a case of a 55-year-old female patient with no significant past medical history who was admitted due to COVID-19 induced acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. She developed multiple asymptomatic episodes of long sinus pauses as her oxygen requirements increased. These resolved without atropine and pacing as her respiratory status improved. Hypoxemia, cytokine storm, dysautonomia, direct viral infiltration, and surrounding myocardial inflammation are thought to be responsible for bradyarrhythmias associated with COVID-19. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases have been reported. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients should be monitored closely on telemetry in order to promptly recognize any arrhythmia; hence preventing an unexplained rapid decline in cardiopulmonary status by intensifying care and managing the arrhythmia in a timely manner. Follow-up studies would be needed to determine the long-term outcomes of COVID-19 patients who developed bradyarrhythmias.
