How Are Toxin-Induced Cardiac Conduction Abnormalities Diagnosed?
Diagnosis of toxin-induced cardiac conduction abnormalities involves a thorough clinical evaluation, including patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing. The history should focus on potential exposure to toxic substances, including medications, recreational drugs, and environmental toxins. ECG is a crucial tool for detecting conduction abnormalities, while blood tests can help identify specific toxins. In some cases, more advanced imaging or electrophysiological studies may be required.
