RESUMEN
La alternancia eléctrica es un amplio concepto que describe las variaciones, latido a latido, en la dirección, amplitud y/o duración de cualquier componente del electrocardiograma.

ABSTRACT
Electrical alternans is a broad term that describes alternate-beat variation in the direction, amplitude and duration of any component of the ECG wave-form. It is associated with cardiac tamponade, serious ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden death. We present the clinical case of a 77-year-old female with electrical alternans, from which a diagnosis of cardiac tamponade was established (AU)
