Electrocardiogram changes, including right axis deviation, right bundle branch block, a deep S wave in lead I (R/S < 1), and a prominent R wave in lead aVR (R/Q > 1), have been termed PAS syndrome, often linked to TA-associated PAS, especially in young East Asian females. Early diagnosis is crucial but challenging due to atypical symptoms. The non-invasive ECG is vital for detection, with balloon pulmonary angioplasty serving as an effective treatment for TA-induced PAS when surgery is not an option, improving outcomes and potentially reversing right heart remodelling.
