Overview
On EKG, hypoglycemia is characterized by sinus tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia.
EKG
- EKG findings in hypoglycemia include sinus tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia.
- EKG findings in hypoglycemia may show supraventricular tachycardia in uncotrolled cases.
- Based on some experimental data, hypoglycemia due to insulin use can lead to long QT syndrome and eventually increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmia.[1]
