Giant Precordial T Wave Inversion in a Patient with Gastroenteritis
Giant precordial T wave inversion (GPTI) on ECG may be the result of several pathologies, including myocardial ischemia, pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, subarachnoid hemorrhage, apical hypertrophy, and postpacing. We describe a case of a 75-year-old woman who developed GPTI after an episode of gastroenteritis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this ECG pattern associated with g...
متن کاملT-vector direction differentiates postpacing from ischemic T-wave inversion in precordial leads.
BACKGROUND Postpacing precordial T-wave inversion (TWI), known as cardiac memory (CM), mimics ischemic precordial TWI, and there are no established ECG criteria that adequately distinguish between the two. On the basis of CM properties (postpacing sinus rhythm T vector approaching the direction of the paced QRS vector), we hypothesized that CM induced by right ventricular pacing would manifest ...
متن کاملAngiocardiographic findings in patients with biphasic T-wave inversion in precordial leads.
OBJECTIVE To determine the angiocardiographic findings in patients with unstable angina showing biphasic inversion of T-waves in precordial leads on electrocardiogram, commonly referred to as the Wellen's syndrome. METHODS The descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Karachi, between February and November, 2010. Using convenience...
متن کاملThe right ventricle of the elite high end endurance athlete cannot be underestimated.
272 Numerous studies have described features of adaptive cardiac remodeling in athletes. There remains overlap, however, between many of the structural and functional features of the athletic heart and potentially dangerous cardiac conditions including arrhythmogenic right ventricular (RV) cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The use of newer echocardiographic techniques inclu...
متن کاملPrecordial T wave Inversions on Electrocardiogram
T wave inversions on an electrocardiogram (EKG) can manifest from any process that result in a relative delay in regional ventricular repolarization. The differential diagnosis of right precordial T wave inversions, leads V1-V3, include myocardial ischemia, a normal athlete’s heart, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, and pulmonary embolism amongst others. The case discussed below is of...
