Overview
Due to the classic cardiac pain, patients presenting with Bornholm disease often have an ECG done to rule out life threatening diseases, such as myocardial infarction. Findings often include non-specific ECG findings may be seen; this includes T wave inversions that often resolve with resolution of the disease and MI can be ruled out due to the absence of ST changes.
Electrocardiogram
- Non-specific ECG findings may be seen; this includes T wave inversions that often resolve with resolution of the disease[1]
- The absence of ST changes helps rule out MI
Myocarditis may present with ST elevation or depression, which may result in difficulty differentiating it from myocardial infarction. Troponins may be. helpful in differentiating
- Pericarditis
