WITHDRAWN: Comment on: Electrocardiographic findings and mortality in covid-19 patients hospitalized in different
1Medicine, Dow university of health sciences, karachi.
Abstract:
We have diligently reviewed the article presented by Marco Mele et al., titled "Electrocardiographic findings and mortality in covid-19 patients hospitalized in different clinical settings"1 It was a concise and informative paper, and we acknowledge the authors for presenting an exceptional article that expanded our knowledge. Although we concur with the study's conclusion that Covid-19 patients' electrocardiograms (ECGs) differ at admission depending on the intensity of their care and the clinical setting, the stratification of risk for in-hospital mortality may be aided by a simplified score based on various clinical and ECG variables. However, we would like to highlight a few areas that would further strengthen the conclusion.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
