Summary

The present study aims to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 disease and its treatment on ventricular repolarization, assessed by measuring the QTc interval, in patients admitted to the critical care unit.

Description

Coronavirus infection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COVID-2 is characterized by a broad clinical spectrum ranging from asymptomatic infection, mild upper respiratory tract disease and severe viral pneumonia with respiratory failure and even death, with many patients hospitalized with pneumonia. In addition, the infection can have a direct impact on cardiovascular disease including the development of arrhythmias, although the exact incidence is not known. Treatments administered for COVID-19 infection have the potential to produce adverse cardiovascular effects including prolongation of the QT interval and development of arrhythmias.

Relevant clinical data that may affect the QT interval and specifically the medication the patient has received will be recorded. The specific treatment administered for COVID-19 will be recorded as the concomitant medication of the critical patient that may have an impact on the QT interval. Analytical data will also be collected on plasma levels of ions such as potassium, calcium and magnesium, blood gases, renal and hepatic function parameters and cardiac markers.
