Overview
ECG has minimal diagnostic value in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease but plays a role in diagnosing concurrent conduction abnormalities and monitoring side effects of medications. Electrocardiogram of a patient with Alzheimer's disease may show QT dispersion and heart rate variability abnormalities.
Electrocardiogram
- ECG has minimal diagnostic value in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease but plays a role in diagnosing concurrent conduction abnormalities and monitoring side effects of medications.
- Electrocardiogram of a patient with Alzheimer's disease may show heart rate variability leading to QT dispersion.[1]
