Abstract

During Covid 19 global pandemic numerous patients were in urgent need of hospital treatment. Some of them had different known concomitant diseases, various accompanying conditions and comorbidities. Others with clean medical history developed all of a sudden severe complication because of the Sars-CV2 infection. Medical professionals of different fields, including ophthalmology, surgery, neurology, joined Covid 19 teams after urgent retainment. Patients enrolled in this study were hospitalized because of Covid 19 and needed treatment for ventricular arrythmia as well. Amiodarone blood tests were performed using an adapted HPLC method verified for over 10 years of continuous observations.
