Discharge report on a cardio patient.
Under the heading "pacemaker telemetry", it says:
"Hierbei zeigten sich allerdings bei genauerer Betrachtung des IgM’s
zeigen sich am ehesten Sinustachykardien."
(exactly as written)
"IgM" must be an error, right? I've never heard of it in connection with pacemakers.
Any ideas what the transcriptionist could have misheard?
Thanks for your help.
