What causes false + ekg results at clinic (example: distortion, noise baseline, t wave inv latterly), then hour later at hospital checked normal.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many factors: The equipment itself could be the issue. The most common problem is the placement of the recording electrodes (stickers) on the skin. Just like any test in life, preparation is very important.
