Abstract

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that has significant potential cardiovascular implications for patients. Here, we describe a patient referred to Namazi Hospital, Shiraz, Iran, whose COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction test result was positive and developed paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
