Investigating the Short-Term Changes of the Electrocardiogram Indicators During Hospitalization in Patients With COVID-19 Following the Use of Tocilizumab. [PDF]
Tocilizumab, an IL‐6 inhibitor used in severe COVID‐19, may have cardiovascular effects. This study examined short‐term electrocardiographic (ECG) changes 24 h before versus 24 h after tocilizumab injection in PCR‐positive COVID‐19 patients. Retrospective study of 33 ICU‐admitted COVID‐19 patients (36.4% male, age 37–79 years). ECG parameters including
