Article Synopsis
- The Wellens pattern is a specific T-wave change in ECG readings that occurs in patients with chest pain and atherosclerosis, typically appearing as symmetrical or biphasic T-wave inversions in the precordial leads.
- The deep T-wave inversion can indicate various conditions, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, vasospasm, or pulmonary embolism.
- A case study is presented where a patient showed symptoms consistent with the Wellens and McGinn-White patterns, ultimately diagnosed with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism after ruling out coronary artery disease, highlighting the need for careful differential diagnosis for T-wave inversions.
