title: Significance of newly acquired negative T waves after interruption of paroxysmal reentrant supraventricular tachycardia with narrow QRS complex.
abstract: Sixty-three patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia were studied and 25 patients (39%) showed newly acquired negative T waves after tachycardia termination. Silent coronary artery disease could not be found in about 90% of these patients; moreover, age, sex, organic heart disease, and tachycardia duration and rate did not predict the appearance of negative T waves.
