Overview
Electrocardiogram of a patient with alzheimer's disease may show QT dispersion and heart rate variability abnormalities
Electrocardiogram
- ECG has minimal diagnostic value in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease but has a vital role in diagnosing concurrent conduction abnormalities and monitoring side effects of medications.
- Electrocardiogram of a patient with alzheimer's disease may show heart rate variability leading to QT dispersion.[1]
