Abstract
In patients with suspected ST elevation myocardial infarction, it is of paramount importance to identify artifacts on the resting electrocardiogram that may be erroneously interpreted as ST segment deviations in order to prevent administration of potentially harmful pharmacotherapy and invasive coronary angiography. In this case report, we describe a pervasive square wave artifact, not previously reported, that was misdiagnosed as ST segment elevation by computer software and initial physician interpretation.
