Electrocardiogram
Electrocardiogram
- There are no specific ECG findings diagnostic of small intestinal cancer.
- Bleeding caused by tumor invasion of vessels in the intestine can lead to anemia which may cause tachycardia and appear as increased heart rate on ECG.[1]
- Electrolyte imbalance caused by malignant obstruction of intestine may also lead to some ECG changes.[2]
