De Winter T-wave Pattern in Proximal Left Anterior Descending Artery Occlusion

De Winter T-wave Pattern in Proximal Left Anterior Descending Artery Occlusion

Case Presentation: We describe a case of an acute myocardial infarction with an atypical electrocardiogram showing a de Winter T-wave pattern suggesting the 100% proximal left anterior descending artery occlusion seen on emergent cardiac catheterization. Discussion: Timely recognition of acute myoca...

As highlighted in this case, It is important to be mindful of atypical electrocardiogram findings, such as de Winter T-waves, which suggest acute myocardial ischemia.https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2x83308h
