Resumo

Objetivo: descrever os achados no Holter de 24 horas (H24H) e no Teste de Mesa Inclinada (TMI) em pacientes em situação pós-COVID-19 (SPC) e explorar sua associação
com sintomas.
Metodologia: estudo descritivo transversal no qual foram incluídos 83 pacientes em SPC com H24H ou PMB. Por meio de inquérito telefônico foram obtidas variáveis demográficas, sintomas e comorbidades; H24H e PMB foram revisados por um cardiologista e um eletrofisiologista. Foram excluídos pacientes com histórico de arritmias, disautonomia e portadores de marca-passo.
Resultados: 57,6% dos pacientes eram mulheres e a idade média foi de 48,5 anos. As palpitações foram o sintoma mais frequente (65,1%). 74,7% foram tratados em casa durante a infecção aguda. Em média, decorreram 8,4 meses entre o diagnóstico de COVID-19 e o H24H ou PMB. Dos 64 H24H realizados, pelo menos 34 tiveram achado em pacientes que apresentavam com maior frequência fadiga e dispneia, o achado mais comum foi taquicardia sinusal em repouso ou com mínimo esforço (34%). Em 27 PMB os achados mais repetidos foram síncope ou pré-síncope misto vasovagal (48%) e vasodepressor (22%), tontura/síncope foi o sintoma mais comum em comparação com aqueles que não apresentaram esses achados.
Conclusões: No SPC as palpitações foram o sintoma mais frequente, os achados mais comuns no H24H foram: ter exame normal e taquicardia sinusal em repouso ou com mínimo esforço. No PBM houve repetição de síncope ou pré-síncope vasovagal misto.
