==Overview==
'''Guillain-Barré syndrome''' ('''GBS''') is an acute, autoimmune, [[neuropathy|polyradiculoneuropathy]] affecting the [[peripheral nervous system]], usually triggered by an acute infectious process. The dysautonomia seen in Guillian Barre syndrome may lead to some conduction and rhythm disturbances. Features of GBS on EKG can be 2nd or 3rd degree conduction block, QRS prolongation and T wave abnormality. However, the EKG changes are non-specific and they act as supportive not definitive diagnostic tools.
The [[dysautonomia]] seen in Guillian Barre syndrome may lead to some conduction and rhythm disturbances. Findings on an [[ECG]] suggestive of Guillain Barre syndrome include: [[ST segment]] depresion, [[T wave]] inversion, [[QT]] prolongation and [[Tachycardia|Ttachycardia]].

** T-wave abnormalities
** [[QT]] prolongation
** ST depression
** [[Tachycardia]]
