Check out our new article called Digital platforms for clinical trials: The Eureka experience about some of the innovative clinical trials Eureka is working on and our future directions.

UCSF researchers recently published a new manuscript using data collected from the COVID-19 Citizen Science Study.  Previous reports have demonstrated a link between COVID-19 infections and cardiac arrhythmias in patients hospitalized with COVID-19, so this study investigated the potential link between COVID-19 infection and cardiac arrhythmias in non-hospitalized patients. 51 study participants who recently tested positive for COVID-19 received a continuous heart monitor that can detect many types of cardiac arrhythmias.

By analyzing the heart rhythms of these participants, the researchers concluded there was no evidence of malignant or sustained arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, in any of the 51 study participants.  These data suggest that COVID-19 does not increase the risk of severe arrhythmias in people after recovering from acute COVID-19 illness.

Find out the answers to these questions and more by watching the video below as Dr. Greg Marcus, one of Eureka’s principal investigators, discusses and explains arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, and how alcohol can affect the heart as a guest speaker on Artful Science.
