Overview
Wellens' syndrome (or sign, or occasionally warning) is an electrocardiographic manifestation of critical proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery stenosis in patients with unstable angina. It is characterized by symmetrical, often deep >2mm, T wave inversions in the anterior precordial leads. A less common variant is biphasic T wave inversions in the same leads.[1]
