Isolated deep T-wave inversion on an electrocardiogram with normal wall motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electrocardiogram (ECG) of a 73-year-old, asymptomatic woman showed deep T-wave inversion. The complete workup was negative. Ten years later, she developed takotsubo cardiomyopathy with abnormal ECG again. Isolated deep T-wave inversion might be an aftereffect of takotsubo cardiomyopathy that does not warrant an invasive workup.

T-wave inversion in the aVL lead is associated with severity of stenosis in the LAD artery
Background & Aims: The clinical value of T wave inversion (TWI) in the lead aVL in diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unclear. Hence, we aim to evaluate the association between TWI in the aVL lead and the severity and location of coronary artery stenosis in elective coronary angiography. Material and Method: Electrocardiograms (ECGs) of 167 consecutive patients undergoing electiv...
متن کاملManifestations Mimicking Acute Myocardial Infarction after Honeybee Sting
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to arthropod envenomization has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a 65-year-old woman with clinical manifestations mimicking AMI and left ventricular wall motion abnormality after honeybee sting. The patient eventually recovered from her illness with normal left ventricular wall motion on echocardiogram and T wave inversion on electrocardiogram. We al...
متن کاملVelocity Inversion with an Iterative Normal Incidence Point (NIP) Wave Tomography with Model-Based Common Diffraction Surface (CDS) Stack
Normal Incidence Point (NIP) wave tomography inversion has been recently developed to generate a velocity model using Common Reflection Surface (CRS) attributes, which is called the kinematic wavefield attribute. In this paper, we propose to use the model based Common Diffraction Surface (CDS) stack method attributes instead of data driven Common Reflection Surface attributes as an input data p...

BMJ Case Reports Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2012-008219 DESCRIPTION A 52year-old man was referred as a case of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) for he had chest pain, vomiting and deep T wave inversions on ECG. Physical examination was normal except for blood pressure of 190/100 mm Hg. ECG (figure 1) satisfied...
متن کاملVariable patterns of ST-T abnormalities in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy and normal coronary arteries.
BACKGROUND Classically, the ST-T configuration in the electrocardiogram of patients with left ventricular hypertrophy is said to have a typical pattern of ST depression together with asymmetrical T wave inversion (the so-called left ventricular strain pattern). However, many patients with left ventricular hypertrophy may also have ischaemic heart disease. To revise the electrocardiographic crit...
