Pseudoatrial flutter: artifact simulating atrial flutter caused by a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS).
TLDR
A patient with previous actual atrialFlutter had what appeared to be atrial flutter seen on Holter monitoring during treatment with a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit, but this proved to be artifact caused by the unit rather than a true arrhythmia.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.read more

Electrical stimulation in the treatment of pain
TL;DR: TENS has proved to be remarkably safe, and provides significant analgesia in about half of patients experiencing moderate predictable pain, and is found to be of potential benefit in the management of a range of painful conditions.

Equipment-related electrocardiographic artifacts: causes, characteristics, consequences, and correction.
Santosh Patel,Michael J. Souter +1 more
TL;DR: Advances in processing the electrocardiographic signal may be useful to detect and eliminate artifacts, and an improved understanding of the artifacts generated by equipment, and their identifying characteristics is important to avoid misinterpretation, misdiagnosis, and iatrogenic complication.

Neuromodulation for Chronic Pelvic Pain.
TL;DR: Numerous modalities of neuromodulation have demonstrated efficacy in the management of pelvic pain and further investigation is needed to elucidate the most effective treatment modality and to identify the patients who would benefit most from this therapy.

Differential electrocardiographic artifact from implanted spinal cord stimulator
Mumtaz A. Siddiqui,Ijaz A. Khan +1 more
TL;DR: The patient was evaluated for intermittent chest arising from transcutaneous electrical nerve discomfort and the initial ECG obtained is shown spinal cord stimulator have been recognized since 1978, and the patient was ingly recognized as a significant clinical confounding currently using this device.

Electrocardiographic Artifact Mimicking Ventricular Tachycardia During High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation: A Case Report
TL;DR: The following is the first report of an ECG artifact due to high-frequency oscillatory ventilation: a 54-year-old woman with no history of structural heart disease or arrhythmia was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with a diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome complicating acute pancreatitis.
