Abstract
The authors report the case of a 68-year-old woman who suffered from a n acute massive pulmonary embolism. The common electrocardiopraphic fi ndings were not observed, but rather an extreme QT prolongation. The p atient has been successfully treated by thrombolysis. After a few days , the electrocardiogram normalized. These electrocardiographic changes have not yet been described in the medical literature.
