Specific patterns of ST-segment depression and T-wave inversion, such as Wellens syndrome and maximal depression in V1-V3, are critical for identifying severe ischemia and true posterior infarction.
Heightened awareness of the characteristic patterns of ST-segment depression and T-wave inversion is paramount to quickly identifying life-threatening disorders. This paper reviews how to distinguish the various causes of these abnormalities.
Hanna et al. (Wed,) conducted a review in ST-segment depression and T-wave inversion. Specific patterns of ST-segment depression and T-wave inversion, such as Wellens syndrome and maximal depression in V1-V3, are critical for identifying severe ischemia and true posterior infarction.
