| Popis: | The spiked-helmet sign is a marker for high mortality in critical patients. It is characterised as a dome-shaped ST-segment elevation accompanied by an upward shift of the baseline before the onset of the QRS complex. We present two patients with the spiked-helmet sign on electrocardiogram. Patient A showed a potential relationship between the spiked-helmet sign and hyper-osmolar hyper-glycaemic state, whereas patient B had clinically suspected viral myocarditis. |
