BACKGROUND: There is limited data regarding the electrophysiological
abnormalities and arrhythmias in children with COVID-19, including those
associated with treatment using potentially proarrhythmic hydroxychloroquine
(HCQ) and azithromycin (AZN). OBJECTIVES: To describe the electrophysiologic
findings and arrhythmias associated with pediatric COVID-19 and its treatment.
METHODS: A single-center retrospective chart review was undertaken and included
all patients with (1) symptoms of COVID-19 and (2) PCR-positive nasopharyngeal
swabs for SARS-CoV-2 who were placed on continuous telemetry for the duration of
their hospitalization during March through May, 2020. RESULTS: Thirty-six
patients were included in the study. Significant arrhythmias were found in 6
(nonsustained ventricular tachycardia in 5 and sustained atrial tachycardia in
1). All were self-resolving and half prompted prophylactic antiarrhythmic
therapy. Patients with significant arrhythmias were likely to have noncardiac
comorbidities (4/6), but these were not more common than in patients without
arrhythmias (20/30, P = 1). The use of HCQ was associated with statistically
significant QTc prolongation (413 ± 19 ms vs 425 ± 16 ms, P =.005). QTc was not
statistically different in patients with and without arrhythmias (425 ± 15 ms vs
425 ± 15 ms, P = 1). CONCLUSIONS: In pediatric patients with PCR-positive active
COVID-19 infection, significant arrhythmias are infrequent, but are more common
than expected in a general pediatric population. Comorbidities are not more
common in patients with arrhythmias than in patients without arrhythmias.
COVID-19 treatment using HCQ is associated with QTc prolongation but was not
associated with arrhythmias in pediatric patients.
