Overview
An electrocardiogram can be used to differentiate between cardiac and respiratory (COPD) causes of hypoxia. Patients with COPD might have some electrocardiographic findings such as right heart strain and P pulmonale.
Electrocardiogram
Electrocardiographic findings in COPD include:
- P pulmonale
- Right ventricular strain
- Right ventricular hypertrophy
- S1S2S3 pattern[1]
- Low QRS[1]
