    Document: Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although COVID-19 clinical manifestations are mainly respiratory, major cardiac complications are being reported. The mechanism of cardiac injury and arrhythmias is unclear. Also, drugs currently used to treat the COVID-19 may prolong the QT interval and may have a proarrhythmic propensity. The study aims to investigate the effects of COVID-19 infection with asymptomatic and mild symptoms on trans-myocardial repolarization parameters in children without treatment. A total of 105 COVID-19 patients were compared with 40 healthy children. The patient and control group data were compared by calculating the QT interval, corrected QT (QTc), QT dispersion (QTd), QTc dispersion (QTcd), Tp-e, Tp-e dispersion, Tp-e/QT ratio, and Tp-e/QTc ratio on the 12-lead surface electrocardiogram. The mean age was determined as 11.2 ± 0.3 years in the patient group, and 10.8 ± 2.1 years in the control group. In the COVID-19 group, QTd, QTcd, Tp-e, Tp-e dispersion, Tp-e/QT ratio and Tp-e/QTc ratio were statistically higher than the control group. The ventricular repolarization was impaired even in asymptomatic children with COVID-19 infection. These results suggest the need to further assess the long terms risks of prolonged QT dispersion in the setting of COVID-19 infection.
