QT Interval Abnormalities with Pulmonary Emboli

I read with interest the report “Telltale T Waves” by Kondamudi et al1 in the February 2019 issue of The American Journal of Medicine. While I take no issue with the findings and points discussed, I believe at least 2 items of importance received no attention but should have. First, marked and diffuse T-wave inversion in assoc iation with pulmonary emboli have been reported previously.2,3 Given Kondamudi et al’s1 focus on the T-wave abnormalities in this patient, I am surprised no references to this point were mentioned.
