Arrhythmias & electrophysiology
Lack of temporal correlations between COVID pandemic waves and the occurrence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias
Study context
- Population
- Malignant ventricular arrhythmias/SCD from the onset of the COVID pandemic to end 2021
- Exposure
- Malignant ventricular arrhythmias/SCD vs the four COVID waves
- Outcome
- Correlation between prevalence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias/SCD and the four COVID waves
- Follow-up
- Onset of pandemic to end 2021
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Temporal correlation of COVID patients/positive tests with incidence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias
- No significant correlation between COVID patients/positive tests and incidence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias over time
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Incidence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias after vaccination onset
- Incidence tended to decrease after vaccination onset
