Electrocardiographic Changes in COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Cohort Study

Objective: To study electrocardiographic changes in COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods: ECG of 200 patients of COVID-19 pneumonitis admitted in Covid ward was studied. The collective data analysis was done using appropriate statistical test between the variables Results: Amongst various ECG manifestations, widespread new onset concave ST elevation followed by PR depression in almost every limb lead and precordial leads was most common suggesting acute pericarditis. Conclusion: The occurrence of ECG abnormalities in COVID-19 pneumonia is non dependant on severity of pulmonary tract infection. The ECG abnormalities are of past due onset, with various cardiovascular disease and regularly arise after non-significant nasopharyngeal swabs
