Overview
There are no ECG findings associated with rheumatoid arthritis. An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of pericarditis associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Findings of pericarditis are diffuse ST-segment elevation and PR segment depression.
Electrocardiogram
- There are no ECG findings associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
- An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of pericarditis associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Findings on an ECG suggestive of pericarditis include:[1][2][3]
- Diffuse ST segment elevation
- Depression of the PR segment
