Overview
Eisenmenger's patients may show some ECG findings, including right axis deviation (ventricular hypertrophy), ST changes (Right ventricular or biventricular hypertrophy), P Pulmonale (Right atrial hypertrophy), tall R wave in V1 and deep S wave in V6, and microvolt T-wave alternans.
Electrocardiogram
Patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome may show the following findings on ECG[1][2]:
- Right axis deviation (ventricular hypertrophy).
- ST changes (Right ventricular or biventricular hypertrophy).
- P Pulmonale (Right atrial hypertrophy).
- Tall R wave in V1 and deep S wave in V6.
- Microvolt T-wave alternans.
- Atrial or ventricular arrhythmias if complicated by heart failure.
