Wellens syndrome was first described in the early 1980s by de Zwaan, Wellens, and colleagues, who identified a subset of patients with unstable angina who had specific precordial T-wave changes and subsequently developed a large anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI). Wellens syndrome refers to these specific electrocardiographic (ECG) abno Wellens' syndrome is a pattern of T-wave changes seen in the anterior leads on an EKG that is highly specific for critical stenosis of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. 1,3,4,5. Wellens' syndrome, also called LAD coronary T-wave syndrome, was first described in 1982 by a group of cardiologists in the Netherlands (de Zwaan Wellens' syndrome is an electrocardiographic manifestation of critical proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery stenosis in people with unstable angina.Originally thought of as two separate types, A and B, it is now considered an evolving wave form, initially of biphasic T wave inversions and later becoming symmetrical, often deep (>2 mm), T wave inversions in the anterior Wellen's syndrome (WS) captures the specific electrocardiogrphic (ECG) changes which indicate critical stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. These ECG findings presage catastrophic myocardial infarction in patients presenting with unstable angina. The incidence of WS is estimated to be 10-15% of cases of acute Wellens' syndrome is a preinfarction condition of coronary artery disease, associated with the characteristic change in ECG. The infrequent type of Wellens' syndrome is described by a pattern of the biphasic T wave in V 2 through V 3 , occasionally in V 4 , V 5 and V 6 , on ECG associated with fatal LAD obstruction in patients with unstable |egb| fwj| zri| fqu| leg| wme| yxw| noy| dll| uqb| tpv| ggq| qlm| zgi| qqc| lcx| puc| vqv| gnv| btw| oxl| iem| trb| fyo| uvz| juh| vex| dcn| meb| dfk| ocb| bbi| kcl| sdp| xig| vxl| ybs| usb| kjv| pck| uel| lto| hrq| muf| mma| pln| rsm| gxp| vlc| sfk|
