Secondary T wave changes:a change in ■ repolarization induced by an altered pathway of activation:bundle branch block; Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome et al

-Primary T wave changes origin from: (a)structural (reflecting hypertrophy,myocyte destruction or fibrosis) (b)Hyperkalemia or hypokalemia induced; pharmacologic (antiarrhythmic drug induced). or pathologic(electrolytic abnormalities) (c)T wave evolution after myocardial infarction
