Electrocardiographic changes in hiatal hernia: a case report

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.

Acute Respiratory Failure, Ischemic Modifications on Electrocardiogram: Alternative Etiology—A Case of Morgagni Hernia

“…The process of simply visualizing and setting up a positive diagnosis was started by Soykan Arian and her medical team when analyzing 21 patients with Morgagni hernia. This study resulted in an interesting conclusion-dyspnea was the most prominent symptom [19], and computerized tomography was the gold standard for an accurate diagnosis [19,20], as in our case.…”

Posterior cardiac compression from a large hiatal hernia—A novel cause of ventricular tachycardia

“…4 Moreover, patients with more frequent gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and/or esophagitis seem to have an increased risk of AF. 5 Similarly, there have been case reports of atrial flutter, 6 junctional bradycardias, 7 anterior T-wave inversion, 8 and ST elevation that have resolved post hernia repair or even after initiation of anti-reflux therapy. 9 , 10 …”

Hiatal hernia as a rare cause of cardiac complications – case based review of the literature

“…Hiatal hernia and changes in electrocardiogram. Changes in the electrocardiogram pattern and rhythm have been observed in patients with hiatal hernias [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. However, the linkage between these conditions has not been fully elucidated.…”
