Overview
There are no EKG findings associated with essential thrombocytosis. However, EKG should always be ordered in essential thrombocytosis patients who present with chest pain to rule out other dangerous causes of chest pain such as myocardial infarction.
Electrocardiogram
- There are no EKG findings associated with essential thrombocytosis.
- EKG appears normal in essential thrombocytosis patients who present with vasomotor symptoms such as atypical chest pain from micro vascular occlusion.[1] However, EKG should always be ordered in essential thrombocytosis patients who present with chest pain to rule out other dangerous causes of chest pain like myocardial infarction (MI).
- Vasomotor symptoms in essential thrombocytosis like chest pain, tingling and numbness, vision disturbances, and scintillating scotomas usually responds well with aspirin therapy.[1]
