An idiopathic case of precordial deep T-wave inversion.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE One percent of the patients referred to cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) are presented with T-wave inversion. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of 78-year-old woman with chest pain and dyspnea. ECG showed precordial deep T-wave inversion. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Cardiomyopathies, ischemia and other pathologies were ruled out. CONCLUSION: It is likely to be a first reported case of idiopathic deep T-wave inversion seen in the family without any cardiac or non-cardiac etiology.
