摘 要:The 12-lead electrocardiogram(ECG)is a routinely performed test but is susceptible to misinterpretation even by experienced *** report a case of a 72-year-old lady with no prior cardiac history presented to our hospital with atypical chest *** initial electrocardiogram shows an initial ST depression followed by positive defl ections leads I and ***-physiological ST segment and T-wave changes are also observed in the precordial leads V2 to *** contrast,these abnormalities are notably absent in lead II.A repeat of the ECG taken 30 minutes later reveals the resolution of most abnormalities seen in the initial ECG on a background of high-frequency noise in the limb *** was referred to the cardiology department for further *** urgent echocardiogram revealed no regional wall motion abnormalities with preserved ejection fraction,and her coronary angiogram revealed no signifi cant coro-nary *** case illustrates the importance of understanding different factors that can cause ST segment abnor-malities,notably artifactual changes that can mimic ST segment myocardial infarction.
