Electrocardiographic changes in hiatal hernia: a case report.

Cases Journal
Gregoriana ZaniniGian Franco Pasini

Abstract

We describe the case of a 78-year-old woman admitted to our department for suspected silent myocardial ischaemia with the evidence of T wave inversion in anterior lead. All the instrumental exams excluded inducible myocardial ischaemia. A gastroscopy showed a moderate hiatal hernia. We postulate that electrocardiogram modification could be attributed to hiatal hernia.
