T Wave Inversions
- Normal in pediatrics
- Myocardial infarct (NSTEMI)
- Myocardial ischemia (Wellen's) - T waves go up, then down
- Hypokalemia - T waves go down, then up (or camel humped, one upright TW and upright U-wave in severe hypokalemia)
- Hyperkalemia
- Pulmonary embolism (RV strain)
- Pulmonary hypertension, acute or chronic
- Pulmonary disease - hyperventilation, pneumothorax, pneumonia
- LVH with strain pattern
- RVH
- Bundle branch block (both left and right)
- WPW
- Pericarditis (stage 3)
- CNS T waves (diffuse, deep)
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (may also have epsilon wave)
- HOCM
- Paced rhythm
- Elevated intracranial pressure
