Abstract
Effects of electroconvulsive therapy on the pulse rate, blood pressure and electrocardiogram were studied in forty consecutive physically healthy inpatients undergoing ECT for their psychiatric disabilities. Tachycardia and elevated blood pressure occurred frequently. Sinus arrhythmias, atrial and ventricular premature beats and minor ST-T changes were also observed. All these changes reversed within thirty minutes.Entities:
