Wellen’s syndrome is a condition with characteristic ECG changes that can be highly specific for acute myocardial infarction involving the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. Acute myocardial infarctions are one of the leading causes of death in the developed world. Its estimated annual prevalence is nearly 3 million worldwide, with more than 1 million in the United States [1]. The importance of timely diagnosis cannot be understated. Here we describe a case of myocardial infarction secondary to LAD occlusion which presented with the atypical ECG pattern known as Wellen’s syndrome.
