Overview

T wave inversion is a non-specific electrocardiographic sign in which the T wave, an electrical signal that occurs when the heart is repolarizing or recharging itself, it is upside down instead of upright.

Classification

Primary T Wave Inversion

These changes in the T wave represent a primary abnormality in electrical repolarization (i.e. they are not due to or secondary to a change in conduction). Examples include the dig effect, myocardial ischemia or central nervous system events such as subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Secondary T Wave Inversion

The T wave may be inverted as a result of changes in the sequence of ventricualr activation such as is seen with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), left bundle branch block, right bundle branch block (RBBB) and pre excitation syndromes like WPW.
