Abstract
This chapter is very short. Why? Pathologic negative T waves represent the most frequent isolated deformations of ventricular repolarization. However, T wave alterations not related to pathologic QRS complexes are very unspecific. The alterations of the ST segment are rarer and somewhat more specific.
