Overview
Electrocardiogram
There are no specific ECG findings associated with lung mass. However, lung mass (metastatic) may invade into mediastinum and heart (commonly through lymph nodes). Patients may have varied ECG findings depending upon the type of involvement.
- Lung cancer metastasized to heart may result in arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, cardiac tamponade, or congestive heart failure.[1]
- ECG usually shows a T wave and ST segment modifications.[2]
