Overview
In patients with acute and chronic hepatitis C no specific findings are detected on ECG. If patient progress to cirrhosis prolonged QT intervals and attenuated voltage may be observed.
Electrocardiogram
In patients with acute and chronic hepatitis C no specific findings are detected on ECG. Abnormalities of cardiac electrophysiology are noted in patients that progress to cirrhosis. The most common finding is QT interval prolongation which may be a sign of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, and attenuation of ECG voltage.[1][2]
