Introduction The QT interval represents the time between onset of ventricular depolarization (QRS complex) and conclusion of repolarization (terminal T wave), as detected by surface electrocardiogram (ECG). A prolonged corrected QT interval (QTc) is associated with increased risk of torsades de pointes, which can lead to ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac arrest. Several processes can result in prolonged QT interval, including congenital long QT syndrome, drug-mediated effects, metabolic abnormalities, and structural or electrical heart disease. Several cases of patients with COVID-19 developing Twave inversion and QT prolongation have been reported. However, most of these patients had severe COVID-19 infection. Below we report a unique case of severe QT prolongation and T-wave inversions in an asymptomatic patient with COVID-19.
