Is an Abnormal T-Wave on an ECG Serious? What Should I Do?

Whether the abnormality of T-wave in electrocardiogram is severe needs to be considered from the causes and clinical symptoms that cause the abnormality. If the abnormality of T-wave in electrocardiogram is caused by intense exercise, it is a normal phenomenon, generally not serious, and does not require special treatment. If the abnormality of T-wave in electrocardiogram is caused by hypertension, myocarditis and other reasons, it is generally more serious and requires treatment according to the causes. In addition to physiological factors, the abnormality of T-wave in electrocardiogram is commonly seen in diseases such as myocardial ischemia, acute or chronic coronary insufficiency, acute myocardial infarction, acute anterior wall subendocardial ischemia, hyperkalemia, acute pericarditis, acute pericardial hematoma, and cerebrovascular accidents.

If hypertension is diagnosed, antihypertensive drugs such as captopril tablets and nifedipine sustained-release tablets can be taken orally under the guidance of doctors. If myocarditis is diagnosed, antiviral drugs such as acyclovir capsules and valaciclovir capsules can be taken orally according to doctor's advice, and can be relieved by bed rest and avoiding fatigue. If symptoms such as dyspnea occur, they can be treated by oxygen inhalation through mask or nasal catheter. If symptoms such as palpitations and chest pain occur, they can be treated in hospital to avoid delaying the condition and damaging physical health. During the treatment period, it is necessary to maintain a good mood and avoid adverse emotions such as anxiety and irritability. Attention should be paid to healthy diet, and nutrient-rich foods such as bananas, eggs, beef, and tofu can be eaten to improve immunity.
