What's wrong with the cover from this week's Heart Rhythm journal. (Hint: arrow).

To be fair, the patient might also have a pneumoperitoneum.
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep track of the EKG with air in the pericardium? Seems like that'd markedly decrease the signal to the skin...

We put wires inside the heart to record endocardial electrograms from those wires. This makes the need for looking at the surface electrocardiogram a bit less relevant durng the ablation procedure.
I love this "editorial find"
