Pulmonary embolism and RV pathology evaluation
Urgent diagnostic workup including D-dimer, CT angiography, and echocardiogram to evaluate for pulmonary embolism, right ventricular strain, or pulmonary hypertension.
Anticoagulation therapy
Blood thinning medications to treat or prevent thromboembolic conditions that may cause right precordial T-wave inversions, typically involving direct oral anticoagulants or warfarin.
Additional treatment options
CT pulmonary angiography
Advanced imaging procedure to directly visualize pulmonary arteries and identify emboli, ventricular function, and other structural abnormalities causing the ECG changes.
procedureVenous thromboembolism prevention measures
Compression stockings, leg elevation, and mobility protocols to reduce venous stasis and prevent clot formation in at-risk individuals.
lifestyleInferior vena cava filter placement
Surgical placement of a mechanical filter in the IVC to prevent pulmonary embolism in patients with contraindications to anticoagulation or recurrent emboli despite anticoagulation.
