t-wave adnormalities can be related to ischemia in the anterolateral muscle of the heart or could be caused by other factors such as electrolyte abnormalities.

What can iron deficiency anemia do to your ecg?
flat t wave in chest leads --- --s.t.
What is a T-wave?
The T wave represents the repolarization (or recovery) of the ventricles. The interval from the beginning of the QRS complex to the apex of the T wave is referred to as the absolute refractory period. The last half of the T wave is referred to as the relative refractory period (or vulnerable period). The T wave contains more information then the QT interval. The T wave can be described by its symmetry, skewness, slope of ascending and descending limbs, amplitude and subintervals like the TpeakTend interval. In most leads, the T wave is positive. However, a negative T wave is normal in lead aVR. Lead V1 may have a positive, negative, or biphasic T wave. In addition, it is not uncommon to have an isolated negative T wave in lead 3, aVL, or aVF.

What is r t segment?
The R-T segment is the portion of the EKG tracing from the R wave to the T wave.
What are the characteristic of a wave?
in general, a harmonically oscillating, one dimensional wave is described by the following function: f(x,t)=Acos(2phi*t/T -2phi*x/ג) where A is the amplitudes (or wave height), T is the wave's period time and ג is the wave length. these are the three basic characteristics of a wave. other characteristics can be calculated from these: the frequency f=1/T , and the speed of the wave v=גf.
The period during which the ventricles are repolarizing?
the asnwer is t wave
Give an example of the other type of wave.?
The PR wave,QRS wave, and T wave.
What is the portion of the ECG that indicates ventricular repolarization?
The wave indicating atrial repolarization wave is hidden by the QRS complex. Ventricular repolarization is indicated by the T wave.
How do wave frequency and period of a wave relate?
Wave frequency f, and period of wave T are inverses, related by fT=1.
What does abnormal t wave mean?
what causes abnormal t waves
What does it mean when a physician says the cardiomediastinal silhouette was unremarkable?
When a physician says the cardiomediastinal silhouette is unremarkable, it means that the shape and size of the heart and mediastinum seen on imaging are within normal limits and there are no abnormal findings or masses. This suggests that the heart and surrounding structures appear normal without any obvious abnormalities.
Why is the T wave positive in the ECG?
The T wave is positive in an ECG due to the direction and charge. This positive deflection occurs after each QRS complex.
