Repolarization can be influenced by many factors, including electrolyte shifts, ischemia, structural heart disease (cardiomyopathy) and (recent) arrhythmias. Although T/U wave abnormalities are rarely specific for one disease, it can be useful to know which conditions can change repolarization.
- Early repolarization (normal variant)
- Juvenile T waves (normal variant)
- Nonspecific abnormality, ST segment and/or T wave
- ST and/or T wave suggests ischemia
- ST suggests injury
- ST suggests ventricular aneurysm
- Q-T interval prolonged
- Prominent U waves
