P-wave alternans in a patient with hyponatremia
We describe an unusual electrocardiographic (ECG) case of an alternating P-wave configuration that spares other ECG components. Hyponatremia due to chronic indapamide use was proposed as a plausible cause of this ECG phenomenon because its correction led to the recovery of a steady P-wave morphology...
