The involvement of various systems with Covid-19 manifestation ranging from asymptomatic to sudden cardiac arrest have been reported. Cardiovascular complications are the most dreadful ones as they can lead to further decompensation of patient and decrease the chances of recovery. Arrhythmic tendencies increase with the severity of covid illness. More frequently are the tachyarrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, sinus tachycardia and ventricular ectopic. We report such a case of covid induced high-grade atrioventricular block that was transient with spontaneous recovery after the waiting period.

Abstract


The involvement of various systems with Covid-19 manifestation ranging from asymptomatic to sudden cardiac arrest have been reported. Cardiovascular complications are the most dreadful ones as they can lead to further decompensation of patient and decrease the chances of recovery. Arrhythmic tendencies increase with the severity of covid illness. More frequently are the tachyarrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, sinus tachycardia and ventricular ectopic. We report such a case of covid induced high-grade atrioventricular block that was transient with spontaneous recovery after the waiting period.
