Population

A 76-year-old woman with severe depression scheduled to receive 8 treatments of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)

Intervention

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)

Outcome

Development of giant T-wave inversion

Electroconvulsive therapy can trigger prolonged and fluctuating giant T-wave inversion, likely due to exaggerated sympathetic stimulation resembling catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy.
