Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
T inversion may have several reasons, some of them are not significant
Normal TMT is reassuring - excludes Coronary Artery Disease / and surgery is safe - yet peri-operative heart watch is necessary, since the cause of T inversion was not clear.
"Permanent" treatment needs a definite diagnosis - which is not possible in most cases.
The investigations are extensive, invasive, have inherent risk, not cost-effective and hence not worth pursuing unless there are specific pointers, which is unusual!
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
