Acquired Cardiac Dextroposition: A Step in the Right Direction?

ABSTRACT: Despite tremendous advancements in electrocardiography machine algorithms, accurately diagnosing dextrocardia, pseudodextrocardia, and limb lead reversal remains a serious challenge. We present the case of a patient with acquired cardiac dextroposition, or "pseudodextrocardia," in which the electrocardiography machine algorithm incorrectly interpreted the finding as "dextrocardia vs limb lead reversal." (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
