My wife has been experiencing shortness of breath, tightness of the chest, and elevated heart rate.  Our GP ran a ekg and told her she had an inverted t wave, she is scheduled for a CAT scan, but we are nervous and dont know what to expect. What can you do for an inverted t wave?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Inverted T wave on ECG (electron cardio gram) is due to myocardial ischemia. It is due to reduced blood supply to heart and most common cause for this is coronary artery obstruction. Her symptoms like shortness of breath, tightness in chest and tachycardia (high pulse rate) are also favoring coronary artery blockade. So she needs to consult cardiologist and get done CT coronary angiography. This will diagnose coronary artery blockade if present. If she is having blockage then urgent stenting should be done. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
