Why the study?
COVID-19 can affect the cardiovascular system, and Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratios may associate with ventricular arrhythmias.
Are Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratios prolonged in COVID-19 patients with pneumonia compared to those without pneumonia?
Are Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratios prolonged in COVID-19 patients with pneumonia compared to those without pneumonia?
COVID-19 patients with pneumonia exhibit prolonged Tp-e intervals and increased Tp-e/QT and Tp-e/QTc ratios, suggesting a potentially higher risk for ventricular arrhythmias.
ECG repolarization markers may flag arrhythmia risk in COVID-19; hypothesis-generating and needs prospective validation before any clinical role.
