Abstract

De Winter syndrome is a rare presentation in patients with acute left anterior descending artery occlusion, thus an equivalent of anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) requiring immediate coronary angiography. We present a case of de Winter syndrome, where, after successful revascularisation, the patient’s ECG proceeded to Wellens syndrome while he complained of atypical chest pain. Follow-up coronary angiography showed good results, so possibly the Wellens ECG pattern here might indicate myocardial reperfusion.
