Article Synopsis
- A study examines the incidence of arrhythmias in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, focusing on those admitted during Israel's initial outbreak between February and May 2020.
- Out of 390 patients, 28 (7.2%) experienced arrhythmias, primarily atrial tachyarrhythmias, with a notable link between arrhythmia prevalence and disease severity.
- The research highlights background heart failure and disease severity as key predictors of arrhythmias and introduces a decision tree model to help assess patients' risks for developing these heart issues.
