## Overview[edit | edit source]

There are no specific ECG findings associated with beriberi. However, in the advanced stage of wet beriberi, the ECG findings of heart failure may be present, including low voltage QRS complex and prolonged QT interval.

## Electrocardiogram[edit | edit source]

* There are no specific ECG findings associated with beriberi.[1][2]

* However, in the advanced stage of wet beriberi, the ECG findings of heart failure may be present, including:
* Low voltage QRS complex
* Prolongation of QT interval.
* Left bundle branch block may be present.
