Positive past medical history indicates: systemic arthritis/vasculitis, hypercoaguable state, or prolonged immobilization.

Positive family history indicates: sudden or unexplained death, cardiomyopathy, or a hypercoaguable state in first-degree relative.

Abnormal physical examination indicates: pathological murmur, gallop, pericardial friction rub, abnormal second heart sound, distant heart sounds, peripheral edema, painful or swollen extremities, tachypnea, or fever.

Abnormal ECG indicates: ventricular hypertrophy, pathological ST-segment or T-wave changes (>2 mm), high-grade atrioventricular block, ventricular or atrial ectopy, low QRS voltages, PR segment depression, S1/Q3/inverted T3, or prolonged QTc>470 ms.
