Overview

There are no ECG findings associated with short bowel syndrome. In case of malnutrition and electrolyte imbalance, an ECG may be helpful.

Electrocardiogram

• There are no ECG findings associated with short bowel syndrome.
• In case of malnutrition and electrolyte imbalance, an ECG may be helpful.
• Findings on an ECG suggestive of hypokalemia in a patient with short bowel syndrome include:
  • ST segment depression
  • Low T wave
  • Prominent U waves
  • Prolongation of the QRS duration
  • Increase in the amplitude and duration of the P-wave
  • Cardiac arrhythmias and AV block
  • Ventricular ectopy

• Findings on an ECG suggestive of hypocalcemia in a patient with short bowel syndrome include:
• Findings on an ECG suggestive of hypomagnesemia in a patient with short bowel syndrome include:
