User:Bron766/ECG/T wave

From Wikiversity
T waves represent recovery (repolarisation) of the ventricles.

Skills:

  • Describe a normal T wave as upright in I and inverted in aVR.
  • Identify tall or peaked T waves and list causes including hyperkalemia, hyperacute T waves of ischemia and de Winter's T waves (with preceding ST depression).
  • Identify flat or inverted T waves and list causes including hypokalemia and ischemia.
  • Define the terms T wave, BTWI, hyperacute, peaked and reperfusion T waves.

Process
Active learning exercise:
Can you process some new information and transform it into something different?

Help: Learning by connectivism involves remixing information to create new connections and links. Start by choosing materials from the collection above that are most relevant to you. Keep a record of which materials you have accessed (suggested ways of doing this can be found here). Transform the information from one format to another. A traditional example of this learning exercise might be taking a lecture and processing it to make dot point notes, but also consider other formats like diagrams, mind maps, short movies and more. Revise your notes by transforming them again rather than just passively reading them. The theory is that this exercise helps you to engage elements of active learning and learning by teaching to increase the quality of your own learning while also creating something useful for others to learn with if you choose to share it.

Challenges

Interpret these challenging cases to the best of your ability. Suggested levels of interpretation:

  1. Describe the T waves as normal or abnormal
  2. Describe the abnormal T waves as peaked, hyperacute, flattened, inverted, Wellens etc...
  3. List possible causes (if the T waves are abnormal)
  4. Interpret the ECG and case details as a whole to assess the significance of the T waves.

Help: For each skill, here is a collection of relevant cases and clinical examples. You can practise these skills and exercises in any order, but the coloured icons () should help you to find examples of a similar difficulty level. Planned future versions of this page should allow you to keep track of which exercises you have completed, for example by exporting the list to Learnist where you can mark each item as 'done'. You can also review the concepts, theory and background knowledge in the 'Review' section above.
