In this case, changes are made to the shape or amplitude of ECG complexes change alternatively. In the most common form, alternative changes can be viewed better in QRS complexes and in mid precordial leads. These alternative changes can be seen simultaneously in every other QRS complex and T wave. This means that in one beat the amplitude or shape...

... a heterotropic transplant, which is also called a double heart, the heart of the patient is kept and the transplanted heart is attached to it. As can be seen in figure 5, pulmonary artery and aorta of the donor's heart are connected to the pulmonary artery and aorta of the receiver's heart, respectively and superior vena cava of the transplanted heart is also connected to the right atrium of the receiver's heart so that the body's venous blood flows in both hearts. In this situation, the patient has two real hearts, each of which has its own electrical activity and 2 independent electrical activities are evident on the ECG, but at places they are seen as a fusion complex since they overlap (15)(16)(17). ...

Background/aim: The number of patients with heart transplantation has dramatically increased in the last decade. Considerable studies have suggested that the interval from the peak to the end of the electrocardiographic T wave (Tp-e) may correspond to the transmural dispersion of repolarization and increased Tp-e interval and Tp-e/QT ratio are asso...
