Wellens’ Syndrome: a particular form of acute coronary syndrome: A case report
Wellens’ syndrome, also called left anterior descending (LAD ) coronary T-wave syndrome, is a characteristic electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern suggestive of coronary artery disease in the preinfarction stage. ECG changes in Wellens’ syndrome may signify critical stenosis in the proximal LAD coronary artery. Furthermore, ECG changes may occur during a pain-free period with no other evidence of ischemia or unstable angina and none to a minimal elevation of cardiac enzyme levels. Hence, recognition of the aforementioned pattern is important in preventing the development of a devastating anterior wall myocardial infarction
