[Electrocardiogram in pulmonary embolism]
Abstract
The Authors are examining the electrogenetic and vectorial alterations during pulmonary embolism and the consequent more frequent electrocardiographic patterns according to the literature data. The analysis of the electrocardiograms of 37 patients with proved pulmonary embolism confirms that ECG is not of absolute diagnostic value but may be extremely useful especially if subsequent records are compared.
