[Isolated T wave electrical alternans in man (author's transl)]
Giornale Italiano Di Cardiologia
|January 1, 1976
Summary
This case report details electrical T wave alternans, a condition affecting heart rhythm, specifically noting its absence of changes in P waves and QRS complexes. It highlights that T wave alternans correlate with significant QT interval abnormalities.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
- Medical Case Reports
Background:
- Electrical T wave alternans (TWA) are recognized indicators of cardiac electrical instability.
- While TWA is often associated with various arrhythmias, its specific presentation without P wave or QRS complex changes is less commonly detailed.
- The relationship between TWA and QT interval abnormalities, particularly QT prolongation, warrants further investigation.
