  2. T wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_wave

    Other ECG changes associate with myocardial ischaemia are: ST segment depression with an upright T wave; ST segment depression with biphasic T wave or inverted T wave with negative QRS complex; [5] T wave symmetrically inverted with a pointed apex, while the ST segment is either bowed upwards or horizontally depressed, or not deviated; and ST ...

  3. Electrocardiography in myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography_in...

    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 ...

  4. T wave alternans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_wave_alternans

    The TWA test uses an ECG measurement of the heart's electrical conduction using electrodes attached to one's torso. It takes approximately a half-hour to perform on an outpatient basis. The test looks for the presence of repolarization alternans (T-wave alternans), which is variation in the vector and amplitude of the T wave component of the ...

  5. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    The T wave represents the repolarization of the ventricles. It is generally upright in all leads except aVR and lead V1. Inverted T waves can be a sign of myocardial ischemia, left ventricular hypertrophy, high intracranial pressure, or metabolic abnormalities. Peaked T waves can be a sign of hyperkalemia or very early myocardial infarction. 160 ms

  6. ST depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_depression

    A mnemonic can be used for some causes of ST depression, namely DEPRESSED ST: [citation needed]. D - Drooping valve (mitral valve prolapse) E - Enlargement of the left ventricle P - Potassium loss R - Reciprocal ST depression (e.g. inferior wall MI) E - Encephalon hemorrhage S - Subendocardial infarct S - Subendocardial ischemia E - Embolism (pulmonary) D - Dilated cardiomyopathy S - Shock T ...

  7. Wellens' syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellens'_syndrome

    Progressive symmetrical deep T wave inversion in leads V2 and V3; Slope of inverted T waves generally at 60°-90° Little or no cardiac marker elevation; Discrete or no ST segment elevation; No loss of precordial R waves.

  8. Strain pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_pattern

    In electrocardiography, a strain pattern is a well-recognized marker for the presence of anatomic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in the form of ST depression and T wave inversion on a resting ECG. [1] It is an abnormality of repolarization and it has been associated with an adverse prognosis in a variety heart disease patients.

  9. Junctional rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_rhythm

    2. There are inverted P waves prior to the QRS complex. This is because of retrograde flow to the atria causing depolarization prior to the ventricular contraction. Since the depolarization is occurring in the opposite direction, the P wave deflection is inverted. 3. There are inverted P waves after the QRS complex.
