Overview
There are no ECG findings associated with [disease name].
OR
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an ECG suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Electrocardiogram
ECG findings seen in adrenal insufficiency are due to hyperkalemia. These changes include: [1]
- Peaked T waves
- Short QT interval
- Prolonged PR interval
- Loss of P wave
- Widened QRS complex.
Literature review has shown a few cases of adrenal crisis showing T wave changes like T wave inversions. [2]
