Abstract Background A relatively common complication of COVID -19 infection is arrhythmia. There is limited information about myocardial deformation and heart rate variability (HRV) in symptomatic post COVID patients presented by ventricular arrhythmia. Aim of the study Our goal was to assess 2D-ventricular strain and heart rate variability indices (evaluated by ambulatory ECG monitoring) in post-COVID-19 patients suffering from ventricular arrhythmia. Methods The current observational case–control study performed on 60 patients one month after they had recovered from the COVID-19 infection. Thirty healthy volunteers served as the control group. Each participant had a full medical history review, blood tests, a 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG), 24-h ambulatory ECG monitoring, and an echo-Doppler examination to evaluate the left ventricular (LV) dimensions, tissue Doppler velocities, and 2D-speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) for both the LV and right ventricular (RV) strain. Results Symptomatic post-COVID patients with monomorphic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) showed a substantial impairment of LV/RV systolic and diastolic functions, LV/RV myocardial performance (MPI) with reduced indices of HRV. Patients with higher versus lower ventricular burden had poorer functional status, higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers and reduced parameters of HRV (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class: 2.1 ± 0.9 vs. 1.5 ± 0.6, p |
