Overview
Electrocardiogram in Kawasaki disease may demonstrate evidence of ventricular dysfunction or, occasionally arrhythmia due to myocarditis. However, in acute disease the electrocardiogram may demonstrate prolonged PR interval, non-specific ST changes, T-wave changes and increased Q/R ratio, which are consistent with myocarditis.
Electrocardiogram
- Electrocardiogram in Kawasaki disease may demonstrate evidence of:[1]
- Ventricular dysfunction
- Arrhythmia due to myocarditis
- In the acute phase, the electrocardiogram may demonstrate the following abnormalities consistent with myocarditis:[2][3]
- Prolonged PR interval
- Nonspecific ST changes
- T-wave changes
- Increased Q/R ratio
