A 43-year-old male asked:
What does ECG report saying t wave inversion in III & avf means.

Nonspecific: The t wave is more commonly upright in those leads; when it is upside down (a negative deflection), it is inverted.
T wave inversion in leads iii and avf can represent normal findings, but in the appropriate clinical setting, can indicate that further evaluation of the heart is needed.
