Global T-wave inversion on electrocardiogram is associated with a variety of pathophysiologic states, including cardiac, pulmonary, and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as acute electrolyte disorders.
Global T-wave inversion on ECG requires a broad differential diagnosis to identify potentially life-threatening acute conditions.
Global T-wave inversion warrants broad differential diagnosis in acute settings; leaves open prospective studies to refine risk stratification.
Global T-wave inversion as seen on electrocardiogram is associated with a variety of pathophysiologic states, including cardiac, pulmonary, and cerebrovascular disease, and acute electrolyte disorders. Although some of these are chronic conditions, others are acute emergencies, necessitating early diagnosis and treatment. This article reviews and provides examples of possible etiologies of global T-wave inversion on electrocardiogram.
