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' sign or warning: Hein Wellens: cardiology: severe stenosis of LAD: characteristic ekg changes Wernicke encephalopathy: Carl Wernicke: neurology, psychiatry: thiamine deficiency: neurological symptoms caused by biochemical lesions of the central nervous system after exhaustion of B-vitamin reserves, in particular thiamine: Wernicke ...
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.

Takotsubo syndrome represents about 2% of all patients (and 5–6% of all female patients) who are initially diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). [6] [69] It accounts for 0.02% of all hospitalizations in the US. [6] About 90% of TTS patients are women, [6] [69] whose mean age is about 68 years, and 80% of whom are older than 50 years. [6]
