Background: No studies investigated the prevalence of arrhythmias among clinically?stable patients affected by COVID?19 infection. Methods: We assessed prevalence, type, and burden of arrhythmias, by a single?day snapshot in seven non?intensive COVID Units at a third?level center. Results: We enrolled 132 inhospital patients (mean age 65±14y; 66% males) newly diagnosed with COVID?19 infection. Arrhythmic episodes were detected in 12 patients (9%). In detail, 8 had atrial fibrillation, and 4 self?limiting supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. There were no cases of ventricular arrhythmias or new?onset atrioventricular blocks. In addition, we report no patients with QTc interval >450 ms. Conclusions: Our single?day snapshot survey suggests that the prevalence of arrhythmias among clinically stable COVID?19 patients is low. In particular, no life?threatening arrhythmic events occurred.
