Abstract

Rationale: Lead reversal or misplacement is a quietly common problem and a hard obstacle to the right diagnosis for electrocardiogram (ECG). ECG is an important diagnostic cardiovascular tool. It is an initial and crucial step in understanding cardiology, critical care, and emergency medicine. Technical errors are frequent during electrocardiography and can't be avoidable. Patient concerns: A middle-aged housewife married female, Egyptian patient was presented to the emergency department (ED) with idiopathic hyperventilation syndrome and non-specific chest pain after psychological stress. Diagnosis: Factitious Yasser's inferior myocardial infarction after circus limb leads in placement errors or left clockwise lead reversal. Interventions: Electrocardiography and oxygenation. Outcomes: Excellent response after lead correction was the result. Lessons: Factitious Yasser's inferior myocardial infarction is a technical error in limb lead reversal. It is a newly described innovation that happened after circus limb leads in placement errors or left clockwise lead reversal. An accurate and immediate check-up for the ECG is a pivotal step in the initial interpretation. Understanding the ECG and its right processing before reading is highly remarkable. Teaching the team nursing of critical care units and emergency departments and their follow-up is crucial. The diagnoses of the lead reversal need more repeated urgent visions and training on the initial ECG interpretations. Sudden unexpected change in the ECG is a serious cause of concern for physicians, especially, if ECG findings indicate for example myocardial infarction is unparalleled with the clinical cardiac symptoms.
