Many patients showed palpitations and we do not know the cause of these palpitations.Patients and methodsThis is an observational study including patients showing palpitations after recovery from the COVID-19. We analyzed the results of 24 hours recording as well as echocardiographic findings and we analysed the correlation between myocardial strain and rhythms disorders.ResultsAmong 2338 COVID-19 patients, 45% showed long COVID symptoms at 30 days, 7% patients suffered from palpitations. We noted an inappropriate sinusal tachycardia in 60% of cases, 3 cases of ventricle disorders arrhythmia disorders. Longitudinal strain was significantly lower in patients who showed arrhythmia in the 24 recordings than in patients with normal 24 hours rhythm recordings.ConclusionThere is correlation between rhythmic disorders and myocardial damages in patients who showed COVID-19.
