Key result
Electrocardiographic studies during the acute stage of diphtheria show evidence of myocardial damage, chiefly disturbances in auriculoventricular and intraventricular conduction.
Why the study?
Can the electrocardiogram detect cardiac involvement in patients during the late and convalescent periods of diphtheria?
Population
Patients with diphtheria (specific details and sample size not provided in the abstract)

ECG monitoring may be warranted in acute diphtheria; leaves open its value for convalescent cardiac risk detection.
Observational
Can the electrocardiogram detect cardiac involvement in patients during the late and convalescent periods of diphtheria?
The study aims to determine if electrocardiography can detect silent cardiac involvement during the convalescent phase of diphtheria to prevent sudden death.
M. H. Nathanson (1928) conducted an observational in Diphtheria. Electrocardiogram was evaluated. Electrocardiographic studies during the acute stage of diphtheria show evidence of myocardial damage, chiefly disturbances in auriculoventricular and intraventricular conduction.
