The electrocardiographic findings in massive or submassive PE: it's not just S1Q3T3!

The pattern and timing of T wave inversion can also be helpful as discussed here and here at the EMS 12 Lead blog.

As Henry J. L. (Barney) Marriott used to say, when you see T wave abnormality suggestive of simultaneous anterior AND inferior ischemia think acute cor pulmonale, as in massive or submassive PE.
