Overview
Electrocardiogram
There is controversy about ECG changes in MG.[1] these changes are mostly non specific but the fact that they will regress after treatment of MG will rise this suspicion that MG causes these abnormalities.[2][3] These abnormalities include arrhythmias (which can increase the risk of sudden cardiac death[4], Q-T prolongation[3], conduction disturbances and ST-T changes[2][3][5]
