One of the differential diagnoses in the present patient was hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is diagnosed if left ventricular wall thickness on echocardiography is 15 mm or greater. T-wave inversions in the lateral...
An EKG at presentation demonstrated deep symmetric T-wave inversions in anterolateral leads with elevated high-sensitivity troponin, and an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The patient was referred to the cardiac catheterisation laboratory for concerns of a Wellens' EKG pattern; however, invasive ...

T waves may be relatively tall as a normal variant and in persons with vagotonia as in athletes. Peaked, symmetrical, wider, and taller T wave in leads V1 to V4 are present in acute transmural ischemia in left anterior descending coronary artery territory or as a mirror image of the chron...
The U-wave is seen occasionally. It is a positive wave occurring after the T-wave. Its amplitude is generally one-fourth of the T-wave’s amplitude. The U-wave is most frequently seen in leads V2–V4. Individuals with prominent T-waves, as well as those with slow heart rates, ...
Hyperacute T waves (HATW) are characterized by tall, often asymmetrical, broad-based T waves (TW) in the anterior leads. HATW are also often associated with reciprocal ST segment depressions (STD) and J-point elevation [3–5] (Fig. 1). They are a transient pattern found in the early...
Ischaemia(if dynamic or in contiguous leads) or Electrolyte abnormality, e.g.hypokalaemia(if generalised) Ischaemia Dynamic T-wave flattening due to anterior ischaemia (above). T waves return to normal once the ischaemia resolves (below). ...

Cardiac memory is a common cause of deep T-wave inversions (TWI) in the anterior precordial leads and can be difficult to distinguish from alternative causes of TWI such as myocardial ischemia. Cardiac memory is generally a benign condition except in the setting of prolonged QT when it can ...
