Abstract

A patient with previous actual atrial flutter had what appeared to be atrial flutter seen on Holter monitoring during treatment with a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit. This proved to be artifact caused by the unit rather than a true arrhythmia. The artifact was reproduced in a normal volunteer by application of a TENS unit.

摘要

一名曾患过实际心房扑动的患者在使用经皮电神经刺激（TENS）仪治疗期间，动态心电图监测显示出现了疑似心房扑动的情况。结果证明这是由该仪器导致的伪差，而非真正的心律失常。通过给一名正常志愿者使用TENS仪，重现了这种伪差。
