Jun 22, 2020 · The “spiked helmet” sign: a new electrocardiographic marker of critical illness and high risk of death. Mayo Clin Proc. 2011;86:1245–1246. doi: 10.4065/mcp.2011.0647

The spiked helmet sign (SHS) is a rare electrocardiographic marker associated with an increased risk of lethal ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.

The spiked helmet sign is a potential novel ECG marker of a very high risk of impending death, but the prevalence, mechanism, and clinical applicability remain uncertain at this time.

Jun 12, 2019 · Electrocardiographic findings undeniably hold major clues to identifying causes of acute patient decompensation. An occasional electrocardiography (EKG) finding in critically ill …

The “spiked helmet” sign is characterized by an ST-Elevation with the upward shift starting before the onset of the QRS complex. This sign is associated with critical non-cardiac illness.

This abnormal ECG finding with a dome and spike “helmet sign” pattern in a critically ill patient is a marker for very high mortality. It is an under-recognized phenomenon and further research is …
