Overview

An electrocardiogram (ECG) may be helpful in the diagnosis of Sudden cardiac death. Findings on ECG associated with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) include Sinus tachycardia (39%), abnormal T-wave inversions (30%), prolonged QT interval (26%), left/right atrial abnormality (22%), left ventricular hypertrophy (17%), abnormal frontal QRS axis (17%), delayed QRS-transition zone in precordial leads (13%), pathological Q waves (13%), intraventricular conduction delays (9%), multiple premature ventricular contractions (9%), normal ECG (9%).

Electrocardiogram

An electrocardiogram (ECG) may be helpful in the diagnosis of Sudden cardiac death. Findings on ECG associated with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) may include:[1]

A recently published case report demonstrated a cardiac arrest happening due to a very unusual cause. It was triggered by the increased parasympathethic tone during defecation. The successive changes that were observed on ECG were in this order: prolonged PR interval, 2:1 atrioventricular block, sinus bradycardia and complete heart block. These findings supported the occurrence of a central mechanism in this cardiac arrest.[2]

Class I (Level of Evidence: B)


Class of recommendation Level of evidence Recommendation for ECG and exercise tredmile test
1 B In patients with wide complex tachycardia and hemodynamically stable, 12 leads ECG should be obtained
1 B Exercise stress test should be obtained in patients suspected arrhythmia-related exercise such as ischemic heart disease or cathecolaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
1 B In patients with documented ventricular arrhythmia, 12 leads ECG should be obtained during sinus rhythm for evaluation of underlying heart disease
