Eideiken and Wolferth1studied low T1, low T1and T2, and low T2with inverted T3. They point out that a T1less than 2 mm. in height is usually associated with myocardial disease unless the position of the heart is vertical. In the latter case the non-significant low T1is generally associated with a low R1. These authors do not consider the electrical axis of the T-wave except as far as the changes...References1.
