title: [The electrocardiogram in hypothermia].
abstract: Hypothermia is reflected in the electrocardiogram in the form of alterations that permit early recognition of the condition. In fact the electrocardiogram is a more sensitive indicator of temperature than the standard measurements of body temperature used in clinical practice. The various aetiological aspects of hypothermia are described as are its electrocardiographic features.
