Overview
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis. Findings on an ECG suggestive of tuberculous pericarditis include low voltage QRS, absence of ST segment elevation which we usually see in acute pericarditis, inverted T wave, atrial fibrillation, and electrical alternans.
Electrocardiogram
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis. Findings on an ECG suggestive of tuberculous pericarditis include:[1][2][3][4]
- Low voltage QRS
- Absence of ST segment elevation which we usually see in acute pericarditis
- Inverted T wave
- Atrial fibrillation
- Electrical alternans
