Patients admitted with COVID-19 and monitored by telemetry were prospectively enrolled in the study. Baseline characteristics, hospital course, treatment and complications were collected from the patients\u2019 medical records. Telemetry was monitored to detect the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias. The incidence and types of cardiac arrhythmias were analyzed and compared between survivors and non-survivors. Among 143 patients admitted with telemetry monitoring, overall in-hospital mortality was 25.2% (36\/143 patients) during the period of observation (mean follow-up 23.7 days). Survivors were less tachycardic on initial presentation (heart rate 90.6 \u00b1 19.6 vs. 99.3 \u00b1 23.1 bpm, p = 0.030) and had lower troponin (peak troponin 0.03 vs. 0.18 ng\/ml. p = 0.004), C-reactive protein (peak C-reactive protein 97 vs. 181 mg\/dl, p = 0.029), and interleukin-6 levels (peak interleukin-6 30 vs. 246 pg\/ml, p = 0.003). Sinus tachycardia, the most common arrhythmia (detected in 39.9% [57\/143] of patients), occurred more frequently in non-survivors (58.3% vs. 33.6% in survivors, p = 0.009). Premature ventricular complexes occurred in 28.7% (41\/143), and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia in 15.4% (22\/143) of patients, with no difference between survivors and non-survivors. Sustained ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation were not frequent (seen only in 1.4% and 0.7% of patients, respectively). Contrary to reports from other regions, overall mortality was higher and ventricular arrhythmias were infrequent in this hospitalized and monitored COVID-19 population. Either disease or management-related factors could explain this divergence of clinical outcomes, and should be urgently investigated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0244533","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,28]],"date-time":"2020-12-28T18:52:35Z","timestamp":1609181555000},"page":"e0244533","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Cardiac
