A 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was performed and showed an ST-segment elevation of 4 millimeters in V1 and V2 leads and 1 millimeter elevation in aVR lead; also, there was a QRS complex widening and tall T-waves in V3-V5 (Figure 1).
A twelve-lead electrocardiogram performed 1 hour and thirty minutes after initiation of DKA treatment showing complete resolution of ST-segment abnormalities.
