Best Answer

Somatic Tremors refer to artifacts (interference) that would make it difficult to interpret an EKG. The word "Somatic" refers to body, so it can be thought of as body movement that causes said interference on the recording. Causes can range from the patient being cold and shivering, or even certain pathological conditions such as Parkinsons Disease.

In simple terms, it is a type ofinterferencethat can apear on a EKG.
