- Abstract
A 46‐year‐old woman was admitted with coronavirus disease‐2019 infection. Symptomatic sinus bradycardia occurred, followed by congestive heart failure. Therapeutics such as isoproterenol, theophylline, and cilostazol could not safely improve her symptoms. She underwent pacemaker implantation 53 days after admission. Atrial pacing remained was at 60% after 6 months. To recognize that sinus bradycardia initiated by COVID‐19 can cause congestive heart failure and identify COVID‐19 as a potential etiology of sinus node dysfunction. Although it is usually reversible, it may persist in some patients.
