Torsade Artefact
Report:
Sinus rhythm 82 â 88/min
VEBs, one couplet
Movement artefact lower panel
Comment:
For some reason, the (signed) report included â1 episode of torsadesâ (Fig 90a). This is a gross error, given that normal QRS complexes can be mapped out through the noise. Another error is calling the episode a torsade rather than multiform VT, given the absence of bradycardia and QT prolongation. The third error is not questioning the existence of a lone brief episode of putative torsades in the 24 hour recording: something I have never seen or even heard of!
90a.
