Abstract: The spread of coronavirus infection is particularly dangerous in relation to decompensation of existing chronic diseases, specific damage to the cardiovascular system (CVD), especially in the case of severe coronavirus infection and a high risk of adverse outcomes in patients with CVD. Among the cardiovascular manifestations in patients with COVID-19, different types of arrhythmias prevail. Among hospitalized patients, the frequency of arrhythmias is about 17%, and in patients in the Intensive Care Unit, it increases to 44%. Although the cumulative estimated rate of arrhythmia was slightly higher than the rate of acute heart injury (26.1%), it was reported in only four studies, and the 95% confidence interval was 2.5–51.5%.
