Overview
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy. Findings on an ECG suggestive of of peripheral neuropathy include: Prolongation or shortening of the QRS interval, increased QT and QT dispersion intervals, increased or decreased heart rate, prolongation of the PR interval, enlarged P-wave, ST-segment depression, Cardiac arrhythmia, Heart block.
Electrocardiogram

- Increased or decreased heart rate[1]
- Prolongation of the PR interval[1]
- Enlarged P-wave[1]
- ST-segment depression[1]
- Cardiac arrhythmia[2]
- Heart block[3]
