Overview
On ECG, sepsis is characterized by decreased QRS amplitudes, increased QRS duration with or without bundle branch block. These findings are due to altered cardiac excitability.[1]
Electrocardiogram
On ECG, sepsis is characterized by decreased QRS amplitudes, increased QRS duration with or without bundle branch block. These findings are due to altered cardiac excitability.[1]
