The<unk>  (ECG) in the cases of pulmonary embolism (PE) is often abnormal; however, the ECG abnormalities are neither sensitive nor specific.  Some of the most common ECG abnormalities in PE include T wave inversion in the anterior leads and sinus tachycardia.  The ECG abnormalities reported in PE are also present in a variety of other conditions rendering the utility of ECG for the diagnosis of PE limited.  Nevertheless, an ECG is routinely performed in all patients with suspected PE in order to rule out other differential diagnoses such as myocardial infarction.
