Why the study?
De Winter syndrome is a rare electrocardiographic pattern that makes the diagnosis of STEMI very challenging.
De Winter syndrome is a rare ECG pattern that should be recognized as a STEMI equivalent requiring urgent reperfusion therapy.
Recognition of de Winter pattern may prompt timely reperfusion as STEMI equivalent; leaves open need for prospective validation.
De Winter syndrome is a rare electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern that makes the diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) very challenging. Our case indicates that the early identification and diagnosis of such ECGs and timely reperfusion therapy of de Winter syndrome as an STEMI equivalent are required to improve the prognosis of such patients.
