Wellens' syndrome is an electrocardiographic manifestation of critical proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery stenosis in people with unstable angina. Originally thought of as two separate types, A and B, it is now considered an evolving wave form, initially of biphasic T wave inversions and later becoming symmetrical, often ...

Wellens' syndrome is caused by the injury or blockage of the left anterior descending artery, therefore resulting in symmetrical T wave inversions from V2 to V4 with depth more than 5 mm in 75% of the cases. Meanwhile, the remaining 25% of the cases shows biphasic T wave morphology. ST segments remains neutral in this syndrome.
Wellens was a student Professor Dirk Durrer in Amsterdam and participated in the early development of programmed electrical stimulation of the heart in patients with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome. In these patients, cardiac arrhythmias were shown to be initiated and terminated by critically timed premature beats.
