UPRIGHT T WAVE IN V1 - A USEFUL DIAGNOSTIC SIGN OF MILD PULMONIC VALVE STENOSIS IN CHILDREN

In 9 of 10 children aged 5 to 10 years with mild pulmonary value stenosis, confirmed at cardiac catheterization and cineangiocardiography, the T wave in V1 was upright in an otherwise normal electrocardiogram. This compared with absence of an upright T wave concluded that the presence of an upright T wave in V1 in children with a systolic in V1 in 6 cases of atrial septal defect and in 100 cases of functional murmurs. It is murmur and an otherwise normal electrocardiogram is strongly suggestive of mild pulmonary valve stenosis. © 1969 The C. V. Mosby Company.
