Background/purpose: Exercise electrocardiographic hump sign is associated with uncontrolled arterial hypertension (AH), left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, and false-positive exercise testing (ET). The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the antihypertensive treatment effect on hump and on pseudoischemic ST-segment depression and potential correlations to LV diastolic function and mass changes.

Methods: The study comprised 59 non-coronary artery disease patients (45.

Abnormal ST T-wave changes can be found at presentation in various noncoronary disorders; misinterpretation of these patterns as ischemic heart disease can lead to erroneous diagnosis and treatment. Here we present a case of myasthenia gravis (MG) with thymoma, in which the resting electrocardiogram (ECG) led to a misleading diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. After thymectomy, the ECG resumed a normal pattern.
