TWI

T-wave InversionClinical

Inverted T-wave on ECG; common incidental finding in athletes

An ECG finding where the T-wave deflects negatively in a lead where it is normally upright, assessed by location (anterior, inferior, lateral) and athlete demographics. In athletes it is often a benign repolarisation variant, but its clinical significance depends heavily on lead location and associated red flags, and pooled prognostic data remain imprecise.
