Overview
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of Addison's disease. ECG findings in Addison's disease is due to hyperkalemia which include peak T waves and widened QRS complex.
Electrocardiogram
ECG changes in Addison's disease are primarily due to hyperkalemia caused by aldosterone hormone deficiency.[1][2]
- Peak T waves
- Widened QRS complex
