Sep 8, 2021 · Learn about Wellens syndrome, a clinical syndrome with biphasic or inverted T waves in V2-3, indicating critical stenosis of the left anterior descending artery. See examples, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis and expert commentary.
Jul 31, 2023 · Wellens syndrome is an ECG pattern of deeply inverted or biphasic T waves in leads V2 and V3, indicating critical proximal LAD stenosis. It is a pre-infarction state that requires urgent cardiac catheterization and PCI to prevent myocardial infarction.
Jun 22, 2023 · Wellens Syndrome is a high grade coronary lesion that causes chest pain, normal ECG and elevated cardiac enzymes. It has two types: Type A with biphasic T waves in anterior leads and Type B with deep T wave inversion in I and aVL leads.

Jan 25, 2018 · Wellens syndrome is a preinfarction stage of coronary artery disease that causes specific T-wave changes on ECG. It is associated with critical stenosis of the proximal left...
Jun 19, 2022 · 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).
Jan 26, 2009 · Learn about Wellen's syndrome, a characteristic EKG finding of deeply inverted or biphasic T-waves in precordial leads, indicating severe stenosis of the proximal LAD artery. This case report describes a young male patient with no cardiac history who was diagnosed and treated with stenting.
These ECG findings, along with unstable angina, are recognized as Wellens’ syndrome and are highly speci c for critical, proximal stenosis of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery.
