“…1 Various ECG changes have been reported with spontaneous pneumothorax of both left 1,5,6 and right sides. 7,8 The spectrum of such ECG findings includes a change in axis, ST-segment elevation, diminished R-wave amplitude, poor progression across chest leads and inverted T-waves. 5,8 Most often, these changes revert to normal with decompression of the pneumothorax.…”

“…The term 'pneumothorax' was first reported by Itard and then Laennec in 1803 and 1819 respectively [5,6]. The diagnosis is confirmed by physical examination, chest radiography and thoracoscopic examination [2,7]. Therapeutic options are variations, and include the conservative, intermediate and invasive procedures [2].…”

“…Among these changes the most consistently reported were the phasic QRS voltage changes in relationship with the respiratory movements. While most reports have described ECG changes in patients with left-sided PTX, there are a few reports of ECG alterations associated with right-sided PTX as well [15,18]. One possible mechanism behind the voltage alternation of the QRS complexes is the change in the position of the heart within the thoracic cavity with respiration [3].…”
