Deep T inversion

First few conditions which come to our mind when we see deep T wave inversions are coronary artery disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, post cardiac arrest state and takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Other conditions in which deep T wave inversion have been reported are nonischemic cardiomyopathy [1], after cardioversion [2], acute pulmonary embolism [3] and acute pulmonary edema [4].
