title: Unusual artifacts in electrocardiographic monitoring.
abstract: Three unusual artifacts noted during Holter and telemetry monitoring, not previously described, are presented. Recognition of the artifacts prevented misinterpretation and wrong treatment. The clues to the identification of the artifacts and the need for avoiding wrong interpretation and inappropriate treatment are discussed. The cause of the telemetry artifact is discussed.
