A member asked:
How do you distinguish between t wave inversions and deep s waves or pvc's? are t wave inversions always consecutive in pe or can they be one offs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abnormal EKG: T wave and S wave are 2 distinct wave form in EKG tracing, PVC has its own characteristics and looks different from the normal QRS complex. T changes may or may not be present with PE

Was very emotionally stressed earlier having PVCS, Ecg showed normal sinus rhythem but ONE beat had a prominent U wave? I felt like a quickish beat?
Hr 55 ECG showed a quick beat after the previous beat and felt a flutter then back to 55. Not PVC was normal wave formation?
Is it possible for a PVC to trigger on the R wave?
Hi, so basically. I heard that if a PVC falls on a T-Wave, that can trigger ventricular fibrillation, and sudden death. As an 18 year old who experiences frequent isolated PVCs due to stress/anxiety on a daily basis, is this something to worry about?
Increasing PVCs during times of stress, with some short salvos. EKGs with J point elevation and inverted T wave in V1. Normal echos, stress test, event monitor. Normal CMRI with contrast. EP doctor says RVOT and benign. So, if NSVTs should I forget?
