Abstract

A variety of clinical syndromes can cause T-wave inversion (TWI), ranging from life-threatening events to benign conditions. One benign cause of TWI is cardiac memory, which is characterized by the transient inversion of T-waves following abnormal activation of the ventricles, commonly due to intermittent left bundle branch block (LBBB), tachydysrhythmias, electrical pacing, or ventricular pre-excitation.
