Abstract
An unusual electrocardiographic finding simulating total electrical alternans in a 45 year old woman with a recent history of pericardial effusion is reported. Findings obtained on subsequent tracings made clear that the original tracing had disclosed an unusual form of ventricular bigeminy produced by ventricular fusion beats appearing consecutively. This correct interpretation eliminated an unnecessary delay of surgery for active cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis.
