Symptomatic Ventricular Bigeminy and Trigeminy Associated With COVID-19

Cureus. 2023 May 6;15(5):e38650. doi: 10.7759/cureus.38650. eCollection 2023 May.

Abstract

Cardiac manifestations of COVID-19 are well-described in the current literature, although electrocardiogram analyses of COVID-19 patients are limited. The most common arrhythmias experienced by patients with COVID-19 include sinus tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. Ventricular bigeminy associated with COVID-19 is exceedingly rare and requires further studies to determine its incidence and clinical significance. Here, we present the case of a 57-year-old male with no prior cardiac history who was found to have COVID-19 and new-onset, symptomatic premature ventricular contraction bigeminy. This case highlights a rare potential association between COVID-19 and ventricular bigeminy/trigeminy.

Keywords: bigeminy; cardiology; covid-19; internal medicine; trigeminy.
