Peyronie's Disease of the Heart

Report:

Peyronie's disease196 of the ECG machine.

Comment:

The characteristic curvature is seen not only on the patient's complexes, but also on the machine standardisation artefact.

The problem was a displaced heated stylus on an older ECG machinemodel, with a rotating drum: the stylus sometimes got caught under the drum and produced these curvy traces.

A corrected trace, showing incomplete LBBB type of LVH, SVEBs & VEBs, is shown below (Fig 262a).
