The April 6, 2023 post — excessive baseline artifact misdiagnosed as AFib ( instead of sinus rhythm with AV Wenckebach — as in Figure-4 in this post ). There is STE in V5-6. There are new Q-waves in aVL, V5-6. The January 15, 2024 post — for an OMI despite lots of artifact! The September 15, 2023 post — for PTA ( Pulse-Tap Artifact ).
