Elevated T-waves are usually indicative of a hyperkalemic state, which basically means too much potassium in the body. However, there are other conditions in which elevated T-waves can present such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), or a condition known as "left ventricular hypertrophy" in which the chamber of the heart responsible for pumping your blood to the rest of your body becomes enlarged (probably due to being overworked).
