Overview
Electrocardiogram in Kawasaki disease may show evidence of ventricular dysfunction or, occasionally arrhythmia due to myocarditis. However in acute disease the electrocardiogram may show prolonged PR interval, nonspecific ST changes, T-wave changes and increased Q/R ratio which are consistent with myocarditis.
Electrocardiogram
- Electrocardiogram in Kawasaki disease may show evidence of:
- Ventricular dysfunction
- Occasionally, arrhythmia due to myocarditis
- In acute phase, the electrocardiogram may show the following abnormalities which are consistent with myocarditis:[1][2]
- Prolonged PR interval
- Nonspecific ST changes
- T-wave changes
- Increased Q/R ratio
