Herz. 2023 Jun 5. doi: 10.1007/s00059-023-05186-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTArrhythmic manifestations of COVID-19 include atrial arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, sinus node dysfunction, atrioventricular conduction abnormalities, ventricular tachyarrhythmias, sudden cardiac arrest, and cardiovascular dysautonomias including the so-called long COVID syndrome.

The development of at...
