Giant negative T waves.
Marked T wave inversion in a life insurance applicant's ECG may suggest high risk. Careful analysis of the ECG, an informative attending physician statement, and judicious use of additional testing allows the medical director to put this striking ECG abnormality in its proper context.

متن کاملA case of heterozygous Fabry's disease with a short PR interval and giant negative T waves.
A 55 year old woman with heterozygous Fabry's disease presented with cardiac symptoms. The electrocardiogram showed a PR interval of 0.12 s and giant negative T waves, suggesting apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Endomyocardial biopsy, however, revealed myelin like substances characteristic of Fabry's disease. Increasing thickness of the left ventricular wall was seen by echocardiography over...
متن کاملHigh myocardial 18F-FDG uptake after chemotherapy in the presence of left ventricular dysfunction as well as 3-month later with no left ventricular dysfunction
Diffusely increased glucose metabolic activity in the right and left ventricles using 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) and global left ventricular hypokinesia at echocardiography can be evident in acute myocarditis. But, there has been no case report that the ventricular 18F-FDGuptake remains unchanged even ...
متن کاملReversible Left Ventricular Dysfunction with Apical Ballooning — A Case Report of Ampulla Cardiomyopathy
Ampulla cardiomyopathy is a rare cardiac syndrome characterized by transient left ventricular (LV) apical ballooning without significant coronary artery disease. The shape of the left ventricular cavity during the acute phase resembles an ampulla. These patients are usually misdiagnosed as acute myocardial infarction because of similar clinical symptoms, electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and myoc...
