1 An Unusual Electrocardiogram in a Heart Transplant Recipient
Hamish I. MacLachlan, BSc, MBBS, Jonathan R. Dalzell, MD, MRCP  The American Journal of Medicine  Volume 128, Issue 7, Pages e7-e8 (July 2015) DOI: /j.amjmed Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Twelve-lead electrocardiogram on admission. The heterotopic heart is situated in the right hemithorax, hence the sinus beats from the heterotopic heart are clearly visible in the right precordial leads (V1-2), whereas in the left precordial leads (V5-6) ventricular fibrillation is more clearly seen because these overlie the native heart.

3 Figure 2 Twelve-lead electrocardiogram after direct-current cardioversion. Two regular narrow-complex QRS complexes of contrasting morphologies are now seen, representing the patient's native (white arrow) and heterotopic heart (black arrow).
