Overview

There are two indications for obtaining an electrocardiogram in the workup and management of multiple myeloma: carfilzomib use and evaluation of cardiac amyloidosis. In both of these situations, a baseline electrocardiogram may be useful. Subsequent electrocardiograms may be useful for monitoring. Electrocardiogram abnormalities include atrioventricular block and low voltage QRS complexes.
