Spiked Helmet Sign: A Dreadful Pattern in ECG
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Emergency Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Electrocardiogram has been one of the oldest diagnostic modality for myocardial infarction. In last five years, pseudo ST elevation in critically ill patients in the form of “spiked helmet sign” has been studied [1-6]. Spiked helmet sign has been associated with non-cardiac illnesswith raised intra-thoracic pressure or raised intra-abdominal pressure[1-6]. We report one such case, encountered in our accident and emergency department, with ECG showing spiked helmet sign.
