Electrocardiographic Algorithm for the Diagnosis of Inadvertent Implantation of Permanent Pacemaker Lead in the Left Ventricular Cavity

Inadvertent placement of a pacemaker lead electrode in the left ventricle is an unusual complication and the electrocardiogram is a useful tool for the diagnoses. We present such a patient and review the electrocardiographic characteristics that should raise such a possibility.
