Normally, T waves are upright in all leads, except aVR and V1 leads. Highest amplitude of T wave is found at V2 and V3 leads. 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 ...
Electrocardiogram of a person with pulmonary embolism, showing sinus tachycardia of approximately 100 beats per minute, large S wave in Lead I, moderate Q wave in Lead III, inverted T wave in Lead III, and inverted T waves in leads V1 and V3. The primary use of the ECG is to rule out other causes of chest pain. [72]
There must be a prolonged S wave in leads I and V 6 (sometimes referred to as a "slurred" S wave). The T wave should be deflected opposite the terminal deflection of the QRS complex. This is known as appropriate T wave discordance with bundle branch block. A concordant T wave may suggest ischemia or myocardial infarction. [citation needed]
Electrocardiogram of a person with pulmonary embolism, showing sinus tachycardia of approximately 100 beats per minute, large S wave in Lead I, moderate Q wave in Lead III, inverted T wave in Lead III, and inverted T waves in leads V1 and V3.
Elevation of PR segment in aVR and depression of PR in other leads especially left heart V5, V6 leads indicates atrial injury. stage 2 -- normalization of ST and PR deviations; stage 3 -- diffuse T wave inversions (may not be present in all patients) stage 4 -- EKG becomes normal OR T waves may be indefinitely inverted
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]

Excess catecholamines, when released directly by nerves that stimulate cardiac muscle cells, have a toxic effect and can lead to decreased cardiac muscular function or "stunning". [ 11 ] [ 12 ] Further, this adrenaline surge triggers the arteries to tighten , thereby raising blood pressure and placing more stress on the heart, and may lead to ...
