Wellens Syndrome in a patient with a history of hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a case report.

Wellens syndrome, an ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) equivalent, is also known as T-wave left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery disease. Wellens syndrome is characterized by a unique electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern that suggests a significant stenosis in the left anterior descending coronary artery that warrants immediate intervention. Hereby, we present a case report of Wellens syndrome in a patient with a history of hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that may be potentially mistaken for pseudo- Wellens syndrome because the ECG pattern mimics left ventricular strain pattern (LVSP) in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

Article Synopsis
- * PWS is often linked to factors like drug use, stress-induced heart issues, or unknown causes based on past reports.
- * This case study highlights a unique instance of PWS where "memory T wave" changes were triggered by Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT), a connection not previously documented.
Myocardial Bridge of the Left Anterior Descending Artery Causing Pseudo-Wellens' Syndrome: A Report of Two Cases.

Introduction: Wellens' syndrome represents an important, at times overlooked, spectrum of left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery occlusion, spontaneous reperfusion, and impending reocclusion. Once considered pathognomonic for a thromboembolic coronary event, an increasing number of clinical scenarios have been demonstrated to result in pseudo-Wellens' syndrome, each requiring unique forms of assessment and management.
Case Report: We describe two clinical presentations in which myocardial bridging (MB) of the LAD led to clinical and electrophysiologic presentations of a pseudo-Wellens' syndrome.

Pseudo-Wellens syndrome refers to any electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern that mimics Wellens syndrome with no critical left anterior descending (LAD) artery-associated coronary artery disease. The present study describes a rare case of pseudo-Wellens syndrome associated with pulmonary embolism. A female patient presented with chest tightness for 72 h.
