Kawasaki disease electrocardiogram

Introduction

Overview

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.
