| Core Tip |
This is the first and largest retrospective observational study based on the 2020 National Inpatient Sample database that illustrates the outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who developed new onset high degree atrioventricular blocks (HDAVB) or bundle branch blocks (BBB). We observed significantly higher rates of inpatient outcomes of interest in patients admitted for COVID-19 pneumonia and the secondary diagnosis of HDAVB or BBB compared to patients who did not. Several reports in the literature described worse outcomes experienced by this patient population. We conclude that elderly patients, whites, and males with common co-morbid conditions, hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia and HDAVB, seem to be at a significantly increased risk of developing cardiac complications and have a significantly increased risk of inpatient mortality, necessitating a need for preventative strategies, such as the use of temporary pacemakers or cardiac rhythm monitoring techniques. |
