“…In studies from 3 separate regions in Italy, Malanchini et al [3], Sassone et al [4], and Zorzi et al [5] reported no change in ventricular arrhythmia burden and ICD therapies during the COVID-19 pandemic, disputing a higher incidence of cardiac arrests in the same period in Italy. However, Ducceschi et al [6] reported an increase in both ventricular and atrial tachyarrhythmias during the pandemic in the Campania region of Italy. In Germany, Hauck et al [7] reported no change in cardiac arrhythmias in ICD patients enrolled in a clinic, but Rath et al [8] reported an increase in cardiac arrhythmias in ICD patients during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”
