Synonyms and keywords: Juvenile T waves

Overview

The Juvenile T-wave pattern refers to a normal electrocardiographic variant in which T wave inversions are present in precordial leads V1, V2, and V3 along with an early repolarization pattern. Shallow T-wave inversion is usually found in the right precordial leads (V1-V3) during infancy. T wave then rises upwards during childhood. If this inverted T-wave pattern sustained to adulthood, it is called persistent juvenile T-wave pattern.

Natuarl History, Complications, Prognosis

Juvenile T-waves may persists into adulthood with no adverse sequela.

Differentiating persistent Juvenile T-wave pattern from other causes of T-wave inversion

Persistent juvenile T-wave inversion must be differentiated from other diseases that cause T-wave inversion, such as:   

  • Arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia should be suspected in this cohort if the T wave inversion persists beyond lead V1 in a post pubertal male athlete

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • Juvenile T wave pattern is more commonly seen in black people—it has been shown in 10.8% of black population and 0.3% of white subjects.[1]
  • Juvenile T wave pattern is more commonly found in females than males. [2][3]

Diagnosis

Electrocardiogram

Treatment

Juvenile T wave pattern can be normalized by the following medications

Medications Dosag
Oral potassium bicarbonate-citrate 10 gm
Intravenous pro-banthīne 20–30 mg
