Introduction
The use of electrocardiogram (ECG) is not considered as a diagnostic tool for Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. However, in cases of RSV-associated myocarditis, ECG abnormalities may be observed.
Electrocardiogram
A study of 18 patients with RSV-associated myocarditis revealed ECG evidence of conduction system disturbances, specifically atrioventricular block in 38.8% of patients, myocardial damage as evidenced by ST-T changes in 50% of patients, and tachycardia in 16.6% of patients.[1] It is important to note that these ECG findings are non-specific and may be seen in other viral infections and myocarditis, therefore ECG should not be used alone to diagnose RSV-associated myocarditis.
