1/ Let’s talk about U waves #CardioTwitter.
The U wave is a deflection (usually small) immediately following the T wave.
The U wave can be:
✅ Positive: upright with amplitude <1.5 mm.
✅ Prominent: upright with amplitude >1.5 mm.
✅ Inverted or negative.

2/ The U wave is usually absent. When is present, it’s best seen in V2-V3.
Causes of prominent U wave include: hypokalemia, antiarrhythmic drugs, bradyarrhythmias, hypothermia, hypocalcemia, coronary artery disease, MI, others.
