Why the study?
About half of patients with transmural ischemia do not present with ST elevations on ECG, requiring prompt evaluation of STEMI equivalents for early reperfusion.
Case Report (n=2)
Patients with STEMI equivalent ECGs require early reperfusion therapy to salvage jeopardized myocardium.
Supports recognition of deWinter patterns as STEMI equivalents warranting urgent PTCA; leaves open need for confirmatory trials.

Parikh et al. (2023) conducted a case report in ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Equivalent (deWinter sign) (n=2). Primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was evaluated on Successful reperfusion (TIMI 3 flow).
