ECG changes in CRF

• The only clinically identifiable risk factor for arrhythmias is advanced age.
• The most common ECG changes noted in CRF patients are decreased amplitudes of T waves and increased amplitudes of QRS waves.
• Shortened or prolonged QTc intervals and ischemias like ST-T changes are also noted.
• The incidence of supra-ventricular and ventricular arrhythmias are also increased in patients with chronic renal failure.
