T wave abnormalities can provide added evidence to support clinical diagnosis. Except for hyperkalemia, T wave abnormality alone is not diagnostic of any particular condition. The T wave must be considered along with QRS and ST segment abnormalities. ... Left ventricular hypertrophy or strain commonly causes T wave inversion.

There are multiple causes of t-wave changes, but without a clinical history of cardiac symptoms, t-wave changes are usually only an ECG abnormality and a not a predictor of adverse outcomes. I hope you find this information useful.

Left ventricular hypertophy with "strain" or depolarization abnormality ... The T wave is quite 'labile' and long lists of possible causes of T wave changes exist. A changing T wave can be a sign that 'something' is abnormal, but it doesn't say much about the severity. T waves can be peaked, normal, flat, or negative.

There is a lot of talk among common people with regards to inferences drawn on basis of an abnormal T wave in ECG reading. The causes of T-wave abnormality and its significance is a matter of concern for many individuals, especially those with heart problems. ... The different causes of T-wave abnormality are listed below.

The normal pattern of the ECG allows analysis to determine whether there is any abnormality in any particular patient's ECG (see fig 94). The activity is classically represented by ... The latter causes nonischemic T-wave inversions (secondary T-wave changes) in leads showing a predominantly positive QRS deflection.

The T wave is the most labile wave in the ECG. T wave changes including low-amplitude T waves and abnormally inverted T waves may be the result of many cardiac and non-cardiac conditions. The normal T wave is usually in the same direction as the QRS except in the right precordial leads (see V2 below).

Thus the term, nonspecific ST-T wave abnormalities, is frequently used when the clinical data are ... Non Q-wave MI ; Reciprocal changes in acute Q-wave MI (e.g., ST depression in leads I & aVL with acute inferior MI) ; Nonischemic causes of ST depression RVH (right precordial leads) or LVH (left precordial leads, I, aVL) ;

I requested and received copies of ekg's and they all say "abnormal". The latest ones from today read - "Normal sinus rythym with sinus arrythmia with 1st degree AV Block, Right superior axis deviation, Septal Infarct, T wave abnormality, consider inferior ischemia, Abnormal EKG".
