Overview

The most common and important ECG findings associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) include sinus tachycardia, ST segment changes, and ventricular conduction disturbances. Other ECG findings are related to late complications of SLE and may range based on the complication.

Electrocardiogram

The most common and important 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][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Important ECG findings in SLE patients based on cardiac complication:

Cardiac complication ECG findings
Cardiomegaly
Libman sacks endocarditis Heart failure
  • P wave changes
  • R wave height changes
    • Primary increase
    • Decrease after progression
Myocardial infarction
Valvular involvement Mitral valve stenosis
Mitral regurgitation
Arrhythmias Ventricular arrhyhthmias
Supraventricular arrhythmias
Pericardial disease Acute pericarditis
Pericardial effusion
Myocarditis

The ECG findings most commonly seen in myocarditis are:

Coronary artery disease
