    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Clinical Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Exercise stress testing is a common diagnostic tool for evaluating coronary artery disease.
    • Electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities during stress testing require careful interpretation.

    Observation:

    • A 61-year-old male patient exhibited a rare ECG finding during exercise testing.
    • The patient developed marked ST segment elevation.
    • This ST segment elevation was characterized by electrical alternans.

    Findings:

    • Electrical alternans of the ST segments during exercise is a previously undescribed phenomenon.
    • The case highlights a unique presentation of ST segment alternans.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of ST segment alternans.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the full clinical significance of electrical alternans in this context.
