Sep 8, 2021 · Wellens Syndrome is a clinical syndrome characterised by biphasic or deeply inverted T waves in V2-3, plus a history of recent chest pain now resolved. It is highly specific for critical stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD)

Wellens sign in patients with ACS can be caused by a variety of atherosclerothic and non-atherosclerothic causes. Early recognition of subtle ECG changes resembling Wellens sign in patients with chest pain is crucial as it reflects a large area of myocardium at risk.

There are two forms of Wellens’ sign on ECG; type one includes biphasic T waves in V2-V3; and type two (the patient in this case) has deep inverted T waves in the precordial leads. 2 A patient with Wellens’ syndrome may have no cardiac symptoms at all, including no chest pain or shortness of breath.

The webpage provides an example of Wellen's sign on ECG, a pattern indicating critical stenosis of the left anterior descending artery.

Two syndromes, Wellens' Syndrome and Brugada Syndrome, have distinct EKG patterns that are essential for providers, including medical students, to recognize. This article provides an overview of the EKG findings for these syndromes, aiding in their identification and understanding.

Feb 18, 2013 · In ACS patient, the presence of Wellens’ sign in ECG suggests critical proximal left anterior descending stenosis. Wellens’ syndrome patients should be ideally allowed to bypass stress testing and an emergency coronary angiography should be carried out to plan the revascularisation.

Apr 5, 2019 · 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.

Wellen's phenomenon occurs when biphasic T waves are seen in leads V1-V3, or deep symmetric inverted T waves are seen in the precordial leads. Both of these ECG findings are indicative of a...
