Electrocardiographic artifacts are common and may often interfere with interpretation. We describe a case of bizarre appearing T waves.

When encountering unexpected electrocardiographic findings, inspection of the electrocardiogram and lead placement may identify the cause. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
