A young male was admitted with diagnosis of Covid-19 SARS infection and was having fever, cough & non-cardiac chest pain. There was no past history of cardiac symptoms and physical examination was unremarkable. His vitals were stable. His ECG showed ST elevation and Tall but notched T wave in V3 and ST depression in inferior and lateral leads. Carefully looking these manifestations, they seem the artifacts based on their ECG features and history of the patient. ECG was repeated removing all possible sources of technical errors for these ECG manifestations which showed normal ECG confirming the diagnosis of artifactual ECG. Patient was discharged uneventfully. Recognition of ECG artifact and their technical causes is necessary to avoid inappropriate management.
