Pseudo-Wellens syndrome in a patient with vasospastic angina

Abstract

Wellens syndrome is characterised by negative or biphasic T waves in V2–V4 leads and critical stenosis of proximal part of the left descending coronary artery. These ECG changes without atherosclerotic changes in coronary angiography, i.e. coronary artery spasm are called pseudo-Wellens syndrome. We describe a patient with acute coronary syndrome and pseudo-Wellens syndrome as a cause of vasospastic angina. These ECG abnormalities need differentiation with acute pulmonary embolism
