title: ECG changes in hypothermia from sepsis and unrelated to exposure.
abstract: The patient had classic ECG changes of hypothermia (sinus bradycardia, prolonged PR interval, prolonged QT interval, and Osborn waves). These changes occurred in hypothermia resulting from sepsis, without exposure being a factor. Documentation of Osborn waves in this clinical setting supports the theory that they result as a direct consequence of myocardial cooling.
