Overview
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an ECG suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Electrocardiogram
There are no ECG findings associated with [disease name].
OR
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an ECG suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include
- [Finding 1]
- [Finding 2]
- [Finding 3]
Electrocardiogram
Although polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a common arrhythmia in patients with Anderson syndrome, decompensation into a hemodynamically compromising rhythm, or ventricular fibrillation, is rare. The following EKG findings are seen in patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome:
- Biphasic U waves in limb leads
- Widened T-U junction
- Large U waves
- Prolonged terminal T wave downslope
- Prolonged Q-U intervals
- Premature ventricular contractions
- Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
- Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia
