Overview
There are no specific ECG findings associated with lung mass. However, lung cancer may metastasize to heart through the lymphatic/hematogenous route or via direct invasion. The most commonly involved part of the heart is the pericardium followed by myocardium and finally endocardium. On an ECG, patient of lung mass with cardiac metastasis may present with nonspecific T wave and ST segment changes.
Electrocardiogram
- There are no specific ECG findings associated with lung mass.
- However, lung mass (metastatic) may invade into the mediastinum and heart (commonly through lymph nodes).
- Patients may have varied ECG findings depending upon the type of involvement.
- Lung cancer metastasized to the heart may result in arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, cardiac tamponade, or congestive heart failure.[1]
- ECG generally depicts T wave and ST segment changes.[2]
