EP News: Quality Improvement and Outcomes	2020-07-30		.txt	text/plain	629	39	47	The current issue focuses on quality improvement surrounding the challenges created for heart rhythm care during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. PMID: 32330546) 3 conducted a single-center study evaluating the safety and feasibility of utilizing mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry for heart rhythm and QT monitoring in 117 patients with COVID-19 who were receiving hydroxychloroquine with or without azithromycin and were hospitalized on non-telemetry floors. The authors conclude that while mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry has not been approved for QTc monitoring for patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter, QRS duration >160 msec, or T-wave <5% of the peak QRS amplitude, their single-center study suggests that innovative management of QTc monitoring is possible under the resource-constrained conditions of a pandemic.
