Article Synopsis
- Clinical testing after COVID hospitalization often misses lingering cardiac issues that could lead to more heart problems later on.
- An exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) study with 15 recovering patients showed they had lower heart function and higher heart rate compared to healthy individuals during physical activity.
- The findings indicate that post-COVID patients may experience hidden heart dysfunction that could affect their recovery and long-term health, possibly due to factors like autonomic dysfunction or microvascular damage.
Diagnosis of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) may be difficult due to its episodic nature, which can be brief and self-limited, limiting the ability for clinicians to diagnose the specific rhythm disorder in a timely manner. We present a case of PSVT, which was unable to be diagnosed through typical evaluation with an event monitor despite several years of symptoms. The patient was ultimately diagnosed using the AliveCor Mobile ECG, a smartphone-based ECG device and application, which he purchased himself and captured a typical atrioventricular node re-entrant tachycardia.
