Electrocardiographic changes due to pyridoxine deficiency.
A young woman presented with marked alterations in the ECG without cardiological symptoms or evidence of structural heart disease after further evaluation. There was evidence of vitamin deficiency and the ECG normalized after 10 days of treatment with vitamins. Similar alterations have been described in several experimental studies with rats, but this is the first case reported in humans.
