title: Factors predicting coronary artery disease in patients with giant negative T waves.
abstract: Seventy-four patients with giant negative T waves were studied to determine which electrocardiographic variables predicted the presence of coronary artery disease. The absence of left ventricular hypertrophy and the presence of symmetric T-wave inversion predicted coronary artery disease.
