[Considerations on correct diagnosis of atypical electrocardiographic T-wave findings in young subjects].
An analysis is made of the significance of the occasional observation of asymptomatic T-wave changes (inversion). The authors maintain that only an overall evaluation of the anamnestic, clinical and laboratory findings will enable the physician to make a correct diagnosis and exclude from the start, via coordinated protocols, any silent ischaemic disease, and also a series of clinical conditions that the ECG can reveal as this disease. In this connection the authors report a clinical case that is deemed interesting due to the finding of ECG anomalies in an asymptomatic young, athletic subject observed during a periodical medical examination for the purpose of certifying fitness for a specific type of work.
