Overview
Electrocardiography findings are not very specific. However, they can show changes due to the dilatation of the right side of the heart. Possible findings include tall P wave, right axis deviation, and ST changes corresponding to right ventricular hypertrophy.
Electrocardiogram
Electrocardiography may be used as a screening tool. An electrocardiogram indicative of a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection will have:[1]
- Right atrial hypertrophy (tall 'P' wave)
- Right axis deviation on ECG
- Right ventricular hypertrophy (ST changes)
