#Arrhythmias
Here’s a picture of me and Lady Glauc as newlyweds in 2010, in which I am wearing a shirt that says “arrhythmias gonna getcha” 😬

“Ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death occur at a higher frequency among patients with COVID-19”

“two-fold increase in AFib & 1.5-fold rise in ventricular arrhythmias”

I wish they hadn’t said the pandemic was over… but otherwise good info on COVID & the heart.
Key details associated with the treatment of COVID-induced arrhythmias

I take showers sitting down for the likes and subscribes, not the heart arrhythmias.

Heart disease is still the #1 killer in the United States, but it's no longer from heart attacks...instead it's from heart failure and arrhythmias

Announcer in women’s hockey just said one player is lucky to be back after needing a surgery for heart arrhythmias “following months of health issues after an infection”

Gee what infection, I wonder

Making hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin OTC is dangerous.

These drugs can cause deadly arrhythmias, blindness, and neurotoxicity.

I had a patient with a life-threatening infection who needed HCQ—he couldn’t get it because of inappropriate use.

This isn’t medical freedom. It’s harm.

I used EKGs as a diagnostic tool for ten years on a New York City ambulance where we would diagnose arrhythmias with them, sometimes in seconds, that we would treat in the field, saving lives.
Have you ever had an EKG? The last one I had was 40 minutes.

In a sample of 250 patients from Egypt 🇪🇬, arrhythmias were present in a significant percentage of survivors months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Atrial fibrillation and sinus tachycardia were the most common arrhythmias reported (24%)

High levels of chemicals are produced by the body early in infection to mobilise the infection fighting cells.

Those chemicals also irritate the heart making it jumpy.

And by jumpy, I do mean dead.

Heart attacks and strokes triggered by electrical misfiring in the heart are among the biggest killers on the planet.

In 2022, researchers created a “liquid wire” that, when injected into pig hearts, can guide the organs to a normal rhythm. Learn more on #WorldHeartDay: https://scim.ag/4iUYkai

I'm going into work tomorrow and canceling everything. CT run? Canceled. MRI? Nope. Arrhythmias? Not feeling it.
THIS is the pilot you want in this environment.

#LongCOVID is associated with increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease, particularly cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, and coronary artery disease. Long COVID was not associated with stroke

“COVID affects multiple organ systems:

* Brain (cognitive impairment, memory)
* Heart (inflammation, arrhythmias, heart attacks)
* Immune system (dysregulation, vulnerability to infections)
* Lungs, kidneys, and more…

Protection is practical, effective, and still worth starting—today.”
COVID hasn’t gone away. It’s still causing infections, long-term health damage, and death in 2026 — but protection works, and it’s not too late to start. Read the full update: whn.global/scientific/c...
