MILIAN PAULA, Waldo A. et al. The phenomenon of cardiac memory as a simulator of myocardial ischemia. CorSalud [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.2, pp. 251-255.  Epub 01-Jun-2021. ISSN 2078-7170.

The abnormalities in ventricular repolarization are common manifestations of several conditions, among these, we can include cardiac memory, a frequently unrecognized phenomenon in medical practice. The severity of each of these causes is variable; nonetheless, a definitive diagnosis of each of them is not always evident. We present the case of a patient admitted at the emergency room with chest pain and deeply inverted T waves in the electrocardiogram, mimicking a severe myocardial ischemia, which was defined as cardiac electrical memory.

Palabras clave : Cardiac memory; Artificial pacemaker; Left bundle branch block; Ventricular repolarization.
