Overview

The most important and prevalent ECG findings associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) include sinus tachycardia, ST segment changes, and ventricular conduction disturbances.

Electrocardiogram

The most important and prevalent ECG findings associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) include sinus tachycardia, ST segment changes, and ventricular conduction disturbances. SLE can affect cardiopulmonary system in different ways including pulmonary emboli development, Libman sacks endocarditis, and conduction problems. [1]

Important ECG findings in SLE patients based on prevalance:

Cardiac complication ECG findings
Cardiomegaly
Libman sacks endocarditis Heart failure[2]
  • P wave changes
  • R wave height changes
    • Primary increase
    • Decrease after progression
Myocardial infarction
Valvular involvement [3][4] Mitral valve stenosis
Mitral regurgitation
aArrythmias Ventricular arryhthmias
Supraventricular arrhythmias
Pericardial disease[5][6] Acute pericarditis
  • Typical lead involvement: I, II, aVL, aVF, and V3-V6
  • The ST segment depression:
    • Always in aVR
    • Frequently in V1
    • Occasionally in V2
  • J point in V6 > 25% of the height of the T wave apex
  • Reduce voltage with quasi-specific ST-T waves due to increase in scar tissue, fluid and fibrin
  • The EKG abnormalities vary depending on the stage/severity of the pericarditis
Pericardial effusion
Myocarditis[7][8]

The ECG findings most commonly seen in myocarditis are:

Coronary artery disease
