Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease – 2019 [COVID-19] infection is multisystem disease not restricted to the lungs it has negative impact on Cardiovascular system by activation of ACE-2 receptors causing plaque stability, vascular inflammation and MI. ECG and 2D ECHO is a simple bed side diagnostic test can be used to assess cardiovascular disease involvement in such patients. We aimed to find out ECG and 2D ECHO abnormalities of Covid – 19 patients. To Study relation of SARS-COV-2 infection and Prevalence of Cardiovascular disease.

Methods: We perform Cross Sectional study among 500 Post Covid – 19 patients [>20 and

Results: Out of Total 500 population Tachycardia abnormalities seen in 113 patients (22.6%), Rhythm abnormalities in 52 patients (10.4%), and QRS Complex in 36(9.2%), ST Segment Depression in 54(10.8%), Prolonged QT Interval in 22(4.4%), Poor R Wave in 36(7.2%), Chamber Morphology in 67(13.4%), Left Ventricular Systolic Function 159(31.8%), Left Ventricular Hypertrophy 104(20.8%), Aortic Jet Velocity 69(13.8%), Right Ventricular Systolic Pressure 102(26%).

Conclusion: In our study 302 (60.4%) of Post Covid – 19 patients have ECG and 2D ECHO changes. Patients with Severe Covid – 19 are at risk of Cardiac involvement in future. Periodic cardiac assessment of these patients is essential. ECG and 2D ECHO cardiography investigations are prerequisite in evaluation of cardiovascular disease. Our study has shown significant findings of ECG and 2D ECHO cardiogram hence our study concludes that ECG and 2D ECHO Cardiography must consider as an important diagnostic tools for evaluation of cardiovascular disease in Covid – 19 patients.
