|
|
EKG findings in Benign Early Repolarization
|
* Diffuse ST segment elevations (V2, V3, V5)

* Short PR interval (<0.12 sec)
* Widening of QRS (>0.10) * Delta wave |
|
|
EKG characteristics of pericarditis
|
* ST elevation (diffuse)
* PR depression * ST elevation height> T wave * NO reciprocal changes (can be in AvR) |
