Conclusion
This study indicate that SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause malignant
arrhythmia episodes through various mechanisms, including myocardial
damage, electrolyte disturbances, QT interval prolongation, HF
aggravation, and AF induction, resulting in a significant increase in
the number of ICD treatments administered. Patients with ICDs should be
treated cautiously following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Early intervention
and more active follow-up should be provided to minimize the likelihood
of ICD shock and improve patients’ prognosis. Ultimately, this study
provides a basis for the future diagnosis and treatment of patients with
such devices following similar infectious disease outbreaks.
