J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown). 2008 Jul;9(7):754-7. doi: 10.2459/JCM.0b013e3282f3a1df.

Abstract

We report the case of a 85-year-old white woman diagnosed with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in whom we observed an unusual progression of initial T waves inversion to a nearly normal electrocardiogram (EKG) to giant negative T waves and back to a nearly normal EKG.
