Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Antigens in the AV-Node of a Cardiac Conduction System—A Case Report

Mounting evidence indicates that new arrhythmic events frequently occur during andafter coronavirus disease (COVID-19), posing additional mortality risk in older-aged and criticallyill patients. However, the underlying mechanisms and cardio pathological substrates of COVID-related arrhythmias have not been clarified yet. Here, we report findings of severe acute respiratorysyndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigens and genes in the atrioventricular node (AV-node) ofa cardiac conduction system, pointing to its direct infection as a possible arrhythmogenic facto
