Why the study?
The extent of cardiac dysfunction post-COVID-19 varies, and data on arrhythmic burden are lacking.
Does hospitalization for COVID-19 result in impaired cardiac function and increased arrhythmic burden 3 to 4 months post-discharge compared to matched controls?
Does hospitalization for COVID-19 result in impaired cardiac function and increased arrhythmic burden 3 to 4 months post-discharge compared to matched controls?
Hospitalization for COVID-19 is associated with mildly impaired right ventricular function, increased prevalence of diastolic dysfunction, and frequent ventricular arrhythmias 3 to 4 months post-discharge.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May signal lingering RV and diastolic effects post-COVID hospitalization; hypothesis-generating, should not yet change practice.
