What is the finding in the following ECG?
What sign is present here?
[A] De Winter ECG
[B] Osborn wave
[C] Spiked helmet sign
[D] Wellens’ syndrome
Wellens’ sign is also called as – Wellens’ syndrome
Wellens’ syndrome in ECG suggests
[A] NSTEMI
[B] LMCA disease with Impending Cardiogenic Shock
[C] Critical Proximal LAD stenosis
[D] Myocardial Infarction in presence of LBBB
Wellens’ sign in ECG
Best seen in anterior precordial leads – V2-V3
There are two patterns of T-wave abnormality in Wellens syndrome: now considered as evolving wave forms
Type A – Biphasic, with initial positivity and terminal negativity (25% of cases)
Type B – Deeply and symmetrically inverted (75% of cases)
- 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
- T-wave is – often deep (>2 mm)
All of the following are common presentations in Wellens syndrome patients EXCEPT
[A] STEMI
[B] T wave inversions in the anterior precordial leads
[C] History of angina
[D] Normal Cardiac Enzymes
Which coronary artery is most likely to be involved when we see Wellens Sign in a ECG?
[A] Right coronary artery
[B] Left main coronary artery
[C] Left anterior descending artery
[D] Circumflex artery
Clinical, laboratorial and ECG criteria for Wellens’ syndrome is a
- History of angina
- Minimal or no elevation of cardiac enzymes
- Minimal or no ST-segment elevation (<1 mm)
- No pathological precordial Q waves
- Type 1 – Biphasic T waves in leads V2 and V3
- Type 2 – Deep, symmetrical and inverted T waves in leads V2 and V3
