Implication

May warrant ECG awareness in young CNS patients; hypothesis-generating for sympathetic tone effects.

Structured PICO

P
Population
89 young persons with central nervous system (CNS) lesions who had abnormal electrocardiograms
O
Outcome
Electrocardiographic abnormalities (S-T segment, T-wave abnormalities, and notched T waves)surrogate

Young persons with CNS lesions frequently exhibit notched T waves and nonspecific ST-T abnormalities on ECG, potentially due to asymmetrical sympathetic tone alterations.
