Overview

There are no ECG findings associated with lung cancer.

ECG is a simple method for finding evidence of pulmonary artery stenosis in metastatic lung cancer and shoulb be routinely performed in such patients.
Findings on ECG associated mediastinal metastatic of lung cancer led to pulmonary artery stenosis and right ventricular strain include:
Right axis deviation
Deepened S wave in lead 1
Sustantial R wave in lead avR
Inverted/flattened T waves in limb and precordial leads
