SARS-COV-2 is a single-strain RNA virus that attacks primarily the respiratory system. The
second most commonly affected system is the cardiovascular. Often it attacks multiple organ
systems causing multi-organ failure. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained
supraventricular arrhythmia in acute settings of COVID-19 infection and is associated to more
complications and mortality rates. The presence of AF in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia
should be managed with increased attention to prevent adverse outcomes. COVID-19 may be a
cause of multiple organ damage in some infected patients.
