Overview
ECG findings seen in adrenal insufficiency are due to hyperkalemia. These changes include peaked T waves, short QT interval, prolonged PR interval, loss of P wave, widened QRS complex.
Electrocardiogram
ECG findings seen in adrenal insufficiency are due to hyperkalemia. These changes include: [1]
- Peaked T waves
- Short QT interval
- Prolonged PR interval
- Loss of P wave
- Widened QRS complex.
Literature review has shown a few cases of adrenal crisis showing T wave changes like T wave inversions. [2]
