Abstract
The frequency and type of some abnormal ECG findings in 86 consecutive patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis were studied and compared with 86 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy controls. Ail ECGs from the patients and controls were mixed and evaluated blindly by one of the investigators. Ectopic beats were seen in 6 patients in the sarcoidosis group and in 3 individuals in the control group. Patients with stage m sarcoidosis had more conduction defects compared with stage I and n patients and with the controls. Repolarization disturbances were found in 17 patients and 6 controls. These disturbances were more common in patients with stage I and II man in those with stage III sarcoidosis. The total number of patients with some ECG abnormality was 27 compared to 12 controls.
