Electrocardiogram Changes Associated With a Case of COVID-19 Infection

Electrocardiogram Changes Associated With a Case of COVID-19 Infection SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19 and COVID pneumonia and is known to cause cardiovascular abnormalities with electrocardiogram (ECG) disturbances in affected patients. A 47-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department (ED) for the management of COVID-like symptoms. Initial diagnostics included an ECG, which showed significant rhythm changes. Progression of COVID-19 disease compounds myocardial injury with corresponding new-onset ECG anomalies such as QT-segment changes, bundle branch blocks, ST-segment disturbances, and other rhythm abnormalities. This case presentation illustrates ECG changes associated with cardiovascular disease progression. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advanced Emergency Nursing Journal Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19 and COVID pneumonia and is known to cause cardiovascular abnormalities with electrocardiogram (ECG) disturbances in affected patients. A 47-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department (ED) for the management of COVID-like symptoms. Initial diagnostics included an ECG, which showed significant rhythm changes. Progression of COVID-19 disease compounds myocardial injury with corresponding new-onset ECG anomalies such as QT-segment changes, bundle branch blocks, ST-segment disturbances, and other rhythm abnormalities. This case presentation illustrates ECG changes associated with cardiovascular disease progression.
