Jun 22, 2023 · Clinical Significance of de Winter T Waves. The de Winter pattern is seen in ~2% of acute LAD occlusions and is often under-recognised by clinicians; Key diagnostic features include ST depression and peaked T waves in the precordial leads
The de Winter ECG Pattern - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
Jan 31, 2024 · The de Winter ECG pattern, as proposed in the seminal article by De Winter et al, consists of an ST-segment upsloping depression at the J point of 1 to 3 mm in leads V1 to V6, associated with tall and peaked positive T waves.

Jul 4, 2015 · De Winter ST/T-wave complexes showing J-point depression and upright, symmetrical T-waves (see Example 1 below). The patient was suffering LAD occlusion. Example 1
De Winter syndrome - Wikipedia
de Winter syndrome is an electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern which often represents sudden near blockage of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). [1] [5] Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and sweating. [1] While typically due to blockage of the LAD, other arteries of the heart may be involved. [1]
de Winter Sign - EMERGENCY MEDICINE GUIDEWIRE
Many studies have defined the de Winter pattern as being a static sign that occurs very early after symptom onset and persists until reperfusion therapy. However, recent studies have identified the de Winter pattern as a more dynamic entity that can either evolve into classic ST-elevation or occur after the resolution of ST-elevation on the ECG.

de Winter sign–A STEMI Equivalent - PMC
This sign is a marker of acute occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and is helpful in diagnosing anterior wall ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) even in the absence of ST-segment elevation in the precordial leads. 1 Fortunately, we were able to recognise this entity timely and subjected the patient to ...
The de Winter ECG pattern: Distribution and morphology of ST …
As stated before, the de Winter sign of the upsloping type probably represents severe regional subendocardial ischemia. Thus, the probability of pathological q/Q waves or poor R‐wave progression is higher in these cases than in those without the changes.

Jun 28, 2024 · This is called de Winter T wave pattern, and it is a sign of critical proximal occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Dr. Robbert de Winter, et al, described this pattern in a letter to the editor of the New England Journal of Medicine in 2008.
