Overview
There are no ECG findings associated with short bowel syndrome. In case of malnutrition and electrolyte imbalance, an ECG may be helpful.
Electrocardiogram
- There are no ECG findings associated with short bowel syndrome.
- In case of malnutrition and electrolyte imbalance, an ECG may be helpful.
- Findings on an ECG suggestive of hypokalemia in a patient with short bowel syndrome include:
- ST segment depression
- Low T wave
- Prominent U waves
- Prolongation of the QRS duration
- Increase in the amplitude and duration of the P-wave
- Cardiac arrhythmias and AV block
- Ventricular ectopy
- Findings on an ECG suggestive of hypocalcemia in a patient with short bowel syndrome include:
- Findings on an ECG suggestive of hypomagnesemia in a patient with short bowel syndrome include:
