Behçet’s can involve all cardiac components, leading to:

Expected ECG Findings (based on the complications described)
Pericarditis → diffuse ST-segment elevation, PR depression.

Coronary arteritis / ischemia → ischemic ST-segment changes, Q waves, arrhythmias.
Valvulitis with heart failure → may show atrial enlargement or ventricular hypertrophy patterns.
