## Overview

[edit | edit source]

The findings on electrocardiogram (ECG) in hyperthermia include sinus tachycardia and non specific ST segment changes among others.[1]

## Electrocardiogram

[edit | edit source]

The ECG findings in hyperthermia include:

* Sinus tachycardia[1]
* Diffuse non specific ST segment changes[1][2]
* Non specific ischemic changes[1][2]
* Prolonged QT interval[1]
* Brugada syndrome[3]
