“…Given the patient’s presentation, special attention was given to both intrinsic and extrinsic cardiac causes of sinus node dysfunction [ 7 ], Initial chemistry was unremarkable and electrolytes were repleted daily throughout the hospital course. All nodal blocking pharmacologic agents were held in the setting of persistent bradycardia.…”

COVID-19 caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with significant cardiovascular dysfunction in patients with, and without, pre-existing cardiovascular disease [ 1 ]. There are now well-documented cardiac complications of COVID-19 infection which include myocarditis, heart failure, and acute coronary syndrome [ 2 ]. There is growing evidence showing that arrhythmias are also one of the major complications of COVID-19. We report a patient with no known cardiac conduction disease who presented with syncope, positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR, who was persistently bradycardic and subsequently developed sinus node dysfunction (SND). To date, there are a limited number of reports of sinus node dysfunction (SND) associated with COVID-19. We describe the clinical characteristics, potential pathophysiologic mechanisms and management of COVID-19 patients who experienced de novo SND.

“…1 An affected patient can be asymptomatic or extra-pulmonary symptoms could be the leading cause of presentation. 2 The disease spreads mostly through respiratory droplets during close contact. Other modes of transmission, such as the ocular route, should not be overlooked as SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA has been detected in tears and conjunctival secretions of patients with COVID‐19.…”
