“…Various ECG findings specific for acute PE have been reported; however, the relationship between ECG findings and the severity of acute PE remains unclear. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Inverted T waves are frequently observed in lead III and precordial leads in patients with acute PE. 9,11,14,15,17 Some, 9,15,16 but not all, studies have shown that inverted T waves are related to the severity of acute PE.…”

“…The patient was not in shock, but ECG showed inverted T-waves deeper than 2 mm, rS pattern in D1, qR in D3 and T-wave inverted in D3. In 2001, Kurt et al 9 published a paper studying 61 patients with PE and analyzed ECG scans 48 hours prior to pulmonary arteriography, where 25 patients died from PE, 26 had PE and did not die, and the remaining 34 did not have PE. Based on the ECG scans of patients confirmed as having PE (tachycardia, complete or incomplete right bundle branch block, inverted T-wave in the right precordial leads and S1Q3T3 pattern), a 21 point (Table 2) score was drawn up, where a score > 10 points is highly suggestive of massive PE with severe pulmonary hypertension.…”

“…PE may present abnormalities on electrocardiogram, such as T-wave inversion on leads V1 to V4, QR complex on V1, S1Q3T3 pattern and right bundle branch block, suggesting RV overload. 1,2,9 These signs point to a more serious condition associated with pulmonary hypertension and acute cor pulmonale in cases of suspected PE, confirmed with relative ease by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). 2,3 We describe a clinical case in which, despite the low pretest probability found by the scores of Wells and Geneva, and no high-risk of death detected by PESI and simplified PESI, ECG drew attention to the presence of pulmonary hypertension, serving as useful tool not only for the diagnosis but also for the prognosis of this disease with well-established severity.…”
