A member asked:
My ecg showed a negative t wave in lead 3 what does this mean? and what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ECG: T waves inverted in lead 3 are a nonspecific finding and in and of themselves not a big deal. They must be judged in the context of the whole 12 lead study and clinical information. Ask your Doc about your study and meanwhile don't worry about the test result.
