Overview
There are no specific ECG findings associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis can cause non-specific ECG abnormalities that mimic coronary syndromes including: S-T elevation, T wave inversion, Q-T prolongation. Patients with advanced amyotrophic lateral sclerosis may experience loss of heart rate variability and enhanced vasomotor responses and atrioventricular heart block.
