Electrocardiographic Studies in Pulmonary Disease

I. Electrocardiographic Abnormalities in Diffuse Lung Disease

DAVID H. SPODICK M.D.¹

¹ From the Cardiographic Laboratory of the Medical Services, Lemuel Shattuck Hospital and the Department of Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Mass.

Electrocardiograms of 79 consecutively admitted patients with diffuse lung diseases were analyzed. The frontal plane P-wave axis and the P-wave configuration in limb and precordial leads emerged as the common denominator for the large majority of the group. Other abnormalities were common but not so characteristic.
