COVID-19 is known to affect the heart in two ways. Sinus Tachycardia and Covid-19 Dr. Rahul Pandit, Chair of Intensive Care Unit Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, Mumbai said when you have an active disease, the most common fraction of the heart is what we call the nonspecific sinus tachycardia, which happens with COVID-19. Dr. Gajinder Kumar Goyal, Director of Cardiology, Marengo QRG Hospital, Faridabad said POTS is a clinical syndrome that is defined as an increase in heart rate of ≥30 bpm when standing for >30 sec. However, further evaluation should be considered in patients with prolonged symptoms, especially those who have documented sinus tachycardia with a heart rate >100 beats per minute. Many of these patients may require medications like Ivabradine or beta blockers to control their heart rate, said Dr. Goyal.
