Abstract
Electrocardiographic artifacts may generate recordings mimicking supraventricular and ventricular
tachyarrhythmias. This report describes the diagnostic challenge presented by Holter
or loop recordings in two patients, one with pseudo-atrial flutter and the other with pseudo-
-polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
