Sinus rhythm
Respiratory T wave inversion
Comment:
Like in Case 117, the only danger to the patient is that her ECG strips may be taken seriously. It is more of a problem in 12-lead tracings, where only a few beats may be recorded in the right precordial leads, where respiratory fluctuation is most likely to happen. Deep conclusions and painful tests may result.
T wave is the most unstable part of the ECG. Airline pilots may flip it while landing, inverted ones may normalise during anginal attacks, etc86. But this case illustrates another pitfall.
