Pet-Lamb,
Flattened T waves are a non-specific finding, but may represent ischaemia (if dynamic or in contiguous leads) or electrolyte abnormality, e.g. hypokalaemia (if generalised).

Hypokalaemia is potassium deficiency.
Ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to tissues, causing a shortage of oxygen and glucose needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive). Ischemia is generally caused by problems with blood vessels, with resultant damage to or dysfunction of tissue.
