Abstract
The clinical and electrocardiographic Wellens’ syndrome, which is manifested in myocardial infarction, is described in this article. Wellens’ syndrome is characterized by electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in the T wave and is associated with critical proximal stenosis of the left anterior descending artery. Minor ECG changes in Wellens’ syndrome may be underestimated by general practitioners. Therefore, we sought to focus on the timely diagnosis of Wellens’ syndrome, as it is associated with a high risk of large myocardial infarction and sudden death and requires immediate coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous intervention (PCI). Detection of signs of Wellens’ syndrome on the ECG should be considered as acute coronary syndrome (ACS), even in the absence of a clinic of angina pectory.
