Background: Post-COVID-19 syndrome represents a wide range of ongoing symptoms that persist beyond weeks or even months, after recovery from the acute phase. Postural orthostatic tachycardia (POT) is one of these symptoms with a poorly recognized underlying pathophysiology. Purpose: We aimed to investigate atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD), demonstrated by electrocardiographic P wave dispersion (PWD) and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE) in patients with POST-COVID-19 POT (PCPOT). Methods: 94 post-COVID-19 patients were enrolled and classified into two groups; PCPOT group, 34 (36.1%) patients, and normal heart rate (NR group), 60 (63.9%) patients. 31.9% of them were males and 68.1% were females, with a mean age of 35 ± 9 years. Both groups were compared in terms of PWD and AEMD. Results: As compared to the NR group, the PCPOT group showed a significant increase in PWD (49 ± 6 versus 25.6 ± 7.8, p |
