  • Title: Variable presentation of ventricular tachycardia-like electrocardiographic artifacts.
    Author: Tarkin JM, Hadjiloizou N, Kaddoura S, Collinson J.
    Journal: J Electrocardiol; 2010; 43(6):691-3. PubMed ID: 19932897.
    Abstract:
    Diagnosis of clinically significant ventricular tachycardia (VT) relies on accurate electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation, in the context of a convincing clinical picture. ECG artifacts resembling VT are common and can be misleading. We present two instances of VT-like ECG artifacts, which demonstrate the variable presentation of such artifacts and highlight ways in which these ECG tracings can be distinguished from true VT.
