Cureus Wellens Syndrome Electrocardiogram Pattern In A Patient With

Cureus Wellens Syndrome Electrocardiogram Pattern In A Patient With Wellens syndrome is an electrocardiogram (ecg) pattern associated with critical stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending (lad) artery. in patients with wellens syndrome, characteristic biphasic or inverted t waves are seen on ecg. this case report presents a 48 year old male admitted for chest pain and shortness of breath who was found to have a wellens syndrome ecg pattern. oddly. Moreover, in patients with a wellens syndrome ecg pattern and elevated cardiac biomarkers as demonstrated in this case, a significant multi vessel coronary disease with some degree of lad stenosis should be considered and investigated in a timely manner. this case study also documents the findings and effective management of a patient with.

Wellens’ pattern is an electrocardiogram (ekg) finding of biphasic or deeply inverted t waves in leads v2 and v3 that is suggestive of anterior wall ischemia classically reflecting critical stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending artery (lad). this pattern reflects a preinfarction state that can eventually progress to massive and fatal anterior wall myocardial infarction (mi). we. Approximately 75% of patients with wellens’ syndrome develop acute anterior wall mi within weeks if they were treated medically without surgical intervention [1,2]. typically, this unique ecg pattern manifests when the patient is pain free [3]. we hereby describe a symptomless presentation of wellens’ syndrome with characteristic ecg findings. Wellens syndrome describes a pattern of electrocardiographic (ecg) changes, particularly deeply inverted or biphasic t waves in leads v2 v3, that is highly specific for critical, proximal stenosis of the left anterior descending (lad) coronary artery. it is alternatively known as anterior, descending, t wave syndrome. typically when patients with wellens syndrome present to the emergency.

Wellens’ syndrome was first recognized by dr. zwaan and colleagues in the 1980s. wellens’ syndrome is characterized by ekg findings of biphasic or deeply inverted t waves in v2 and v3. uncommonly, the t wave changes may also extend into leads v1, v4, v5, and v6 [1], as it did with our patient. According to arisha et al. [1], wellens syndrome is a type of electrocardiography (ecg pattern of t waves in the precordial leads), also known as "left anterior descending (lad) artery t wave inversion syndrome." the syndrome was first described in the 1980s by wellens among unstable angina patients with critical lad coronary stenosis [2].
