Notched T Waves in Young Persons with Central Nervous System Lesions

Abstract
Eighty-nine abnormal electrocardiograms taken on young persons with central nervous system (CNS) lesions were reviewed. Most had S-T segment and T-wave abnormalities of a nonspecific type. A high incidence of notched T waves was also noted. In this group of patients with CNS lesions the notching may be due to asymmetrical alterations in sympathetic tone to the ventricle.
