Wellens syndrome: Wellens’ Syndrome is a condition

Wellens’ Syndrome is a condition representing a reperfusion state post coronary artery occlusion, marked by distinctive ECG changes. This condition demands urgent recognition and intervention to prevent the progression to an extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) 3. This article offers an in-depth look designed for healthcare professionals seeking to understand Wellens’ Syndrome, from its pathophysiology to its management and implications for patient care. Wellens syndrome describes a pattern of electrocardiographic (ECG) changes, particularly deeply inverted or biphasic T waves in leads V2-V3, that is highly specific for critical, proximal stenosis of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. It is alternatively known as anterior, descendin … Wellens’ syndrome signifies critical stenosis of the LAD and can be indicative of impending anterior wall myocardial infarction. Patients typically present with no active chest pain and minimal to no rise in cardiac biomarkers, which can be falsely reassuring. Wellens' syndrome is an ECG sign of critical stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery in unstable angina. It is characterized by progressive T wave inversion in the anterior leads, low or no cardiac marker elevation, and no ST segment elevation.
