The effect of electrolyte deficiency on cardiac arrhythmias against the background of a new coronavirus infection (review)

A significant electrolyte imbalance due to multiple organ failure and some medications used to treat severe COVID-19 infections provokes arrhythmia. Many studies report that COVID-19 is always accompanied by electrolyte disturbances. The work uses general scientific research methods, in particular, the analysis of foreign scientific publications of 2019–2021 from the databases Pubmed, Medline, Google Scholar, inductive and deductive method. Clinicians leading patients with coronavirus should be aware of the potential side effects of cardiovascular diseases when using various methods of treating viral infection. It is concluded that if initial electrocardiographic studies show a moderate prolongation of the QTc interval, treatment can be prescribed provided that medication intake and administration of electrolytes are optimized. If there is an elongation of the QTc interval, it is necessary to avoid taking medications that may prolong this interval in the future, or consult a specialist to be able to treat the patient with the necessary precautions.
