The shape of the T wave is usually asymmetrical with a rounded peak. T wave inversions from V2 to V4 leads are frequently found and normal in children. In normal adults, T wave inversions from V2 to V3 are less commonly found but can be normal. [4] The depth of the T wave also becomes progressively shallow from one to the next lead. [5]
90% of individuals with ARVD have some EKG abnormality. The most common EKG abnormality seen in ACM is T wave inversion in leads V 1 to V 3. However, this is a non-specific finding, and may be considered a normal variant in right bundle branch block (RBBB), women, and children under 12 years old. RBBB itself is seen frequently in individuals ...
Originally thought of as two separate types, A and B, it is now considered an evolving wave form, initially of biphasic T wave inversions and later becoming symmetrical, often deep (>2 mm), T wave inversions in the anterior precordial leads. [1]
Takotsubo syndrome represents about 2% of all patients (and 5–6% of all female patients) who are initially diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). [6] [69] It accounts for 0.02% of all hospitalizations in the US. [6] About 90% of TTS patients are women, [6] [69] whose mean age is about 68 years, and 80% of whom are older than 50 years. [6]

T-wave alternans and prolonged QT interval in a male patient found to be in a narrow-complex tachycardia and ruled in for an acute myocardial infarction.Administered Ibutilide and converted to sinus rhythm but subsequently had an episode of Torsades de Pointes which required DC cardioversion back into sinus rhythm.

Hyperacute T waves need to be distinguished from the peaked T waves associated with hyperkalemia. [16] In the first few hours the ST segments usually begin to rise. [17] Pathological Q waves may appear within hours or may take greater than 24 hr. [17] The T wave will generally become inverted in the first 24 hours, as the ST elevation begins to ...
