Idiopathic deep precordial T-wave inversion presents in three family members without identifiable etiology.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes a rare instance of idiopathic deep T-wave inversion in a 78-year-old woman after ruling out cardiac and non-cardiac etiologies.
Consider idiopathic familial T-wave inversion in unexplained cases; leaves open heritability and long-term outcomes.
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: One percent of the patients referred to cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) are presented with T-wave inversion. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of 78-year-old woman with chest pain and dyspnea. ECG showed precordial deep T-wave inversion. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Cardiomyopathies, ischemia and other pathologies were ruled out. CONCLUSION: It is likely to be a first reported case of idiopathic deep T-wave inversion seen in the family without any cardiac or non-cardiac etiology.
