What is T wave abnormality consider anterior ischemia?

T‐wave abnormalities in the setting of non‐ ST ‐segment elevation acute coronary syndromes are related to the presence of myocardial edema. High specificity of this ECG alteration identifies a change in ischemic myocardium associated with worse outcomes that is potentially reversible.

What can cause an abnormal T wave reading?

Primary T-wave abnormalities (ischemia or injury) are due to alterations in myocardial cellular electrophysiology and secondary T-wave abnormalities (bundle branch block or ventricular Hypertrophy) are subsequent to alterations of sequence of ventricular activation.

What does T wave abnormality, consider inferior ischemia mean in an ECG test?

Just had an ECG and got a reading of: Normal sinus rhythm, T wave abnormality, consider inferior ischemia. What does this mean? There are waves which are studied in an ECG to record the electric impulses of the heart.

What does the computerized interpretive statement on the 12 lead ECG mean?

Downsloping ST-segment depression is noted in the inferior leads. The computerized interpretive statement reads “T-wave abnormality, consider inferior ischemia”. This must represent inferior ischemia. Right? Not so fast! Ischemia (unlike acute injury) does not localize on the 12-lead ECG. We know this from cardiac stress testing.

When does ischemia does not localize on the 12-lead ECG?

Ischemia (unlike acute injury) does not localize on the 12-lead ECG. We know this from cardiac stress testing. It is not axiomatic that the leads showing ST-segment depression correlate with the coronary artery that has stenosis (when it does happen it is probably by chance).

What does T wave mean in an EKG?

T wave abnormality, consider anterior ischemia. Just diagnozed today in the ecg. Advised stress test. Hypo thyroid T wave abnormality, consider anterior ischemia. Just EKG: What does this interpretation mean in ENGLISH??
