Abstract

Currently the world population is besieged by COVID-19, a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus; and it has been declared by the WHO as a pandemic. COVID-19 disease usually presents with mild respiratory symptoms, some patients have pneumonia, and in severe cases, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and shock are seen. Cardiovascular complications in the course of COVID-19 are responsible for high mortality. A bibliographic review was carried out in order to characterize the pathophysiology of heart rhythm disorders caused by COVID-19 and its complications. A total of 22 bibliographic references were reviewed between books, medical journals and web pages of the Scielo and Infomed platforms. It is evident that those who suffer from previous heart disease are at risk of decompensation and have higher mortality. The drugs used during the treatment of this condition confer a proarrhythmogenic effect.
