Literature Case Analysis of Remdesivir-Related Bradyarrhythmia
OBJECTIVE To explore the occurrence and characteristics of remdesivir-related bradyarrhythmia and provide refer-ences for clinical safe drug use.METHODS The case reports of remdesivir-related bradyarrhythmia published in PubMed,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP were searched from the establishment of each database to October 2023,and statistical analysis was conduc-ted on relevant information and data.RESULTS A total of 32 cases from 23 articles were identified and included in the analysis.There were 16 males(50.0%)and 14 females(43.8%),aged from 3 months to 80 years,with an average age of(43.1±23.5)years.Twenty-seven patients(84.4%)experienced bradyarrhythmia within 3 days after medication.When bradyarrhythmia occurred,the heart rate decreased by 25.0%to 76.0%from baseline,and 20 patients(62.5%)presented with severe bradyarrhythmia.After withdrawal or continuation of treatment and symptomatic management such as atropine or cardiac pacing,all patients had a good out-come except for 2 cases(6.3%)who eventually died from exacerbation of the primary disease.CONCLUSIONS Clinical monito-ring of the patient's heart rate should be strengthened during the use of remdesivir,especially in the first 3 days after medication.Once bradyarrhythmia is found,the patient's condition should be comprehensively considered to decide whether to stop remdesivir,and atro-pine or cardiac pacing can be inserted if necessary.
