Background: Remdesivir has shown a positive impact on patient's clinical improvement with COVID-19 and could represent and future viral infections.Results: 16 out of 37 patients presented bradycardia, 4 of these patients had QTc > 450 ms. Infusion for 3 days or more of infusion had a higher incidence of bradycardia (12 vs 4 patients). Overall, patients without bradycardia had a longer hospitalization (20.5 vs 15.5 days); 7 patients died, 2 of them had bradycardia.
Conclusion:Our results have shown clear evidence of bradycardia after remdesivir infusion. Prospective, double-blinded, and randomized studies with an evident representative sample size with various ethnicities and races are highly needed earlier than later to establish these important findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
