Question:
Tall T-wave of ECG indicates
Tall T-wave of ECG indicates
Show Hint
Hyperkalemia causes tall peaked T waves on ECG due to altered cardiac repolarization.
Updated On: Jun 3, 2025
- Hyperkalemia
- Hypokalemia
- Bradycardia
- Tachycardia
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Tall T waves on an ECG are a hallmark of elevated potassium levels in blood (hyperkalemia).
Hypokalemia causes flattened T waves. Bradycardia and tachycardia refer to heart rate abnormalities, not T-wave morphology.
Hence, tall T waves indicate hyperkalemia.
Hypokalemia causes flattened T waves. Bradycardia and tachycardia refer to heart rate abnormalities, not T-wave morphology.
Hence, tall T waves indicate hyperkalemia.
