Abstract The current outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) also known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has quickly progressed to a global pandemic. There are well-documented cardiac complications of COVID-19 in patients with and without prior cardiovascular disease. The cardiac complications include myocarditis, heart failure, and acute coronary syndrome resulting from coronary artery thrombosis or SARS-CoV-2-related plaque ruptures. There is growing evidence showing that arrhythmias are also one of the major complications. Myocardial inflammation caused by viral infection leads to electrophysiological and structural remodeling as a possible mechanism for arrhythmia. This could also be the mechanism through which SARS-CoV-2 leads to different arrhythmias. In this review article, we discuss arrhythmia manifestations in COVID-19. Keywords Coronavirus disease 2019 .

Introduction The current outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) also known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has quickly progressed to a global pandemic. As of June 2020, 7.4 million people worldwide have been infected with the virus since its origin in December 2019, according to the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Resource Center [1]. Respiratory distress is the most

significant manifestation of COVID-19. In addition, there are well-documented cardiac complications of COVID-19 in patients with and without prior cardiovascular disease. The cardiac complications include myocarditis, heart failure, and acute coronary syndrome resulting from coronary artery thrombosis or SARS-CoV-2-related plaque ruptures [2]. There is growing evidence showing that arrhythmias are also one of the major complications. Liu et al. reported that about 7% of patients report palpitations as a presenting symptom [3]. In a recent report from Wuhan, China, 16.7% of hospitalized and 44.4% of ICU patients with COVID-19 had cardiac arrhythmias [4]. Rec
