Abstract
An unusual electrocardiographic finding was seen in a patient with total esophagectomy. The ECG showed an undulating baseline in the anteroseptal leads, and it is postulated that because the surgical result positioned the stomach in the anterior mediastinum, the electrical activity of gastric contractions was being recorded.
