Acute pulmonary embolism as the cause of global T wave inversion and QT prolongation. A case report.

Abstract:

:A 57-year-old man without prior history of organic heart disease was admitted with a diagnosis of unstable angina because of chest pain and new electrocardiographic (ECG) changes of global T wave inversion and QT interval prolongation. Left and right heart catheterization with coronary angiography, pulmonary angiography, ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy, and echocardiography showed absence of coronary artery disease but unequivocally acute pulmonary embolism. Within days following anticoagulant therapy, the lengthened QT interval became normalized while the global T wave inversion persisted. A follow-up ECG 15 months later revealed complete resolution of the T wave inversion. The possible pathophysiologic mechanism of the ECG changes is discussed.

  • Influence of autonomic tone on the filtered QRS duration from signal averaged electrocardiograms in healthy volunteers.

    abstract::We recently reported that signal averaged electrocardiograms (SAECG) measurements possess a circadian rhythm and are closely related to heart rate or heart rate variability in healthy volunteers. This study determines the influence of autonomic tone on the filtered QRS (f-QRS) duration from SAECG by using pharmacologi...
