Abstract

The S1 Q3 T3 ECG pattern, when combined with right ventricular dilatation has been stated as having a 23% to 69% positive predictive value for the presence of pulmonary hypertension caused by acute pulmonary embolism.6 In conclusion, I find it difficult to accept ECG abnormalities as being due solely to pneumonia, given our present state of knowledge and limited research on the subject.
