Wellens syndrome is a relatively common clinical phenomenon; However, this is often overlooked, especially among young professionals. Without rapid diagnosis and aggressive intervention in patients with the syndrome Wellensa can quickly develop extensive myocardial anterior wall infarction and possibly sudden death. The article describes the diagnostic criteria in the electrocardiogram, the types of the syndrome and how they differ
Wellens syndrome (DS), electrocardiogram (ECG), T-wave myocardial infarction, left anterior descending artery (LAD) coronary angiography (CAG)
