Overview
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute, autoimmune, polyradiculoneuropathy affecting the peripheral nervous system, usually triggered by an acute infectious process.
ECG
- Autonomic dysfunction found in Guillian Barre syndrome may lead to many conduction abnormalities that are picked up on electrocardiogram. Some abnormalities seen on EKG are:
- 2nd or 3rd degree atrioventricular block,
- T-wave abnormalities
- ST depression
- QRS widening
