Cerebral 'T waves' on ECG

ECG Findings
• Inverted, wide T waves are most notable in precordial leads (can be seen in any lead).
• QT interval prolongation.

Clinical Points To Remember:
1. These are associated with acute cerebral disease, most notably an ischemic cerebrovascular event or subarachnoid hemorrhage.
2. They may be accompanied by ST segment changes, U waves, and/or any rhythm abnormality.
3. Differential diagnosis includes extensive myocardial ischemia.

4. Strongly suspect an intracranial etiology in a patient with altered mental status and these electrocardiographic findings.

                     Deep, symmetrical, inverted T waves (arrowhead) with a prolonged QT interval.
