متن کاملTeaching neuroImages: Rest tremor mimicking ventricular tachycardia.
Ventricular tachycardia is a life-threatening condition. ECG artifact caused by the 4to 6-Hz rest tremor of Parkinson disease (PD) can mimic a wide complex ventricular tachycardia (figure). Misinterpretation of ECG artifact can have grave consequences, including cardiac catheterization, administration of antiarrhythmics, and placement of automated implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.1 Tremo...
