;microvoltages: The QRS amplitute (i.e. the sum of the postive and negative parts) in the limb leads does not exceed 0.5 mV (5 mm) OR is no more than 1.0 mV (1 cm) in the chest leads.


Possibe causes of microvoltations:
Possibe causes of microvoltages:
* Cardiomyopathy, especially infiltrative cardiomyopathy, such as in [[w:Amyloidosis|amyloidosis]]
* Cardiomyopathy, especially infiltrative cardiomyopathy, such as in [[w:Amyloidosis|amyloidosis]]
* Fysiek verhoogde weerstand tot de electrodes: pneumothorax, obesitas, pericardvocht / tamponade, pleuravocht
* Increased resistance between the heart and the electrodes: pneumothorax, obesesity, pericardial fluid / tamponade, pleural effusion
* [[Overigen#Myocarditis|Myocarditis]] / [[Overigen#Pericarditis|pericarditis]]
* [[Miscellaneous#Myocarditis|Myocarditis]] / [[Miscellaneous#Pericarditis|pericarditis]]
* Harttransplantatie, met name bij acute of chronsiche rejectie
* Heart tranplantation, especially during acute or chronic rejection
* Foute instelling van het ECG apparaat (gevoeligheid niet goed ingesteld op bijvoorbeeld 5 mm/mV)
* Wrong settings on the ECG apparatus (sensitivity should be at 10 mm/mV)
