Figure 1
Figure 1
First electrocardiogram showing regular sinus rhythm with an inverted, diffuse, and asymmetric T wave, without other findings.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Second electrocardiogram, at the time of pain, showing, in the second beat, the onset of a wide QRS rhythm and, from the third complex onward, also not preceded by a P wave. The heart rate is 55 beats per minute.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Twelve-lead electrocardiogram in the third minute of the treadmill test, which was interrupted owing to a complaint of chest pain, revealing ventricular arrhythmia that ceased concurrently with the end of the anginous episodes.
