Pseudonormalization of T-waves during coronary angioplasty.
Myocardial ischemia has been reported occasionally to produce transient T-wave normalization in certain patients. We present a case of "pseudonormalization" of T-waves occurring in the setting of coronary angioplasty. This case illustrates the potential of the transient coronary occlusion which occurs during coronary angioplasty as a model for understanding acute myocardial ischemia.
