  1. There are four common types of ECG acquisition error:

    • Artifact: Pitfall: can mimic tachy-arrhythmias Pearl: unaffected lead recorded at the same time, or if there are narrow R waves marching through the noise
    • limb lead reversal: Pitfall: can mimic infarct or ischemia ...
    • high precordial lead Pitfall: can mimic septal infarct, Wellens, or Brugada ...
    • precordial lead reversal Pitfall: can mimic infarct ...

    Can a misplaced ECG cause erroneous ECG patterns?
    But this misplacement leaves clues, as emergency physician Dr. Brooks Walsh explains: “The resulting ECG may generate erroneous ECG patterns: e.g. in-complete right bundle branch block, anterior T wave inversion, septal Q waves, ST-segment elevation.

    What is the ECG in myocardial ischemia?

    Dr. Sravya Vuppalapati

    MBBS · 1 years of exp

    ECG is one of the most important tests in detecting myocardial ischemia or simply heart attack. ECG is done when a person experiences symptoms such as chest pain, pain in the upper part of the abdomen, burning sensation in the chest, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, sweating, etc. The changes in the ECG mainly depend on which part of the heart is involved. Most changes can be seen in a part of ECG called the ST segment. The wave in the ST segment can either be elevated or depressed based on the part of the heart involved.

    Can ECG software diagnose electrode misplacement?
    Incorrect electrode placement, or electrode cable misplacement, was suspected by only 45% of the doctors. However, supraventricular arrhythmias or cardiac ischemia were wrongly diagnosed by 28% and 31% of the doctors, respectively. Furthermore, the integrated ECG software is not helpful in diagnosing electrode misplacements and often suggests inappropriate conclusions instead.

    How accurate is an ECG if a cable is misplaced?
    The precise placement of the 10 electrodes and faultless connection between the electrodes and the electrocardiograph are essential for correct interpretation. However, ECG artifacts due to electrode cable misplacements are common, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU).

    What causes an inaccurate ECG interpretation?
    When it comes to an inaccurate ECG interpretation, the top factor cited is precordial electrode misplacement. 2 According to the ACC and AHA, 5% of all ECGs performed are done with a lead reversal. 3 Some lead reversals can be difficult to discern as an error and may lead to physicians incorrectly identifying arrhythmia where there is none. 4

    Is a repeat ECG normal for myocardial infarction?
    The patient's cardiac biomarkers were negative for myocardial infarction. The cardiologist suspected that the ECG was abnormal due to artifact, and ordered another one. The repeat ECG (Figure 2) was completely normal.
