  • Title: Parkinson's tremor mimicking ventricular tachycardia.
    Author: Bhatia L, Turner DR.
    Journal: Age Ageing; 2005 Jul; 34(4):410-1. PubMed ID: 15955765.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of an elderly lady with Parkinson's tremor whose electrocardiographic (ECG) appearance simulated ventricular tachycardia. As a result she underwent unnecessary clinical intervention. We also highlight the difficulty in correctly identifying a tremor-induced ECG artefact with regard to Parkinson's disease, due to the diverse range of possible clinical scenarios presented by patients with this condition.
