Overview
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis. Findings on an ECG suggestive of tuberculous pericarditis include:[1][2][3][4]
- Low voltage QRS
- Absence of ST segment elevation which we usually see in acute pericarditis
- Inverted T wave
- Atrial fibrillation
- Electrical alternans
