Overview
Herpes zoster infection can simulate chest pain of cardiac origin. These patients have normal electrocardiographic findings. However, in very rare instances, herpes zoster infection can have cardiac complications, such as myocarditis, endocarditis, pericarditis and others.
Electrocardiogram
- Herpes zoster infection can simulate chest pain of cardiac origin. These patients have normal electrocardiographic findings.
- In very rare instances, herpes zoster can cause myocarditis, pericarditis, endocarditis, pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, arrythmias or heart block, resulting in pertinent EKG findings to each of these conditions.[1][2][3][4]
