Clinical Course
Clinical concern lead to 12 ECG

ECG Filter Problem

Filter = Diagnostic
DX is OK for perfect signal with no noise or interferenceDX is OK for perfect signal with no noise or interference
Low noise signal
Muscle artifact could look like this
60 Hz (50 Hz UK) Noise from power lines
Wandering baseline looks like thisand needs a filter to keep on screen
