Although inflammatory cytokines are implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiac arrhythmias, inflammation is still largely overlooked in the current management of heart rhythm disorders. Now, COVID-19, a systemic inflammatory disease, causes an unexpectedly high prevalence of arrhythmic events, emphasizing the relevance of inflammation in the pathogenesis of cardiac arrhythmias.
虽然炎症细胞因子与心律失常的发病机制有关,但在当前的心律失常治疗中,炎症仍然在很大程度上被忽视。现在,COVID-19 是一种全身性炎症性疾病,导致心律失常事件的发生率出乎意料地高,这强调了炎症在心律失常发病机制中的相关性。
