Why the study?
The de Winter electrocardiogram pattern is an acute STEMI equivalent, but this specific change is easily ignored by clinicians.
The de Winter ECG pattern is a critical STEMI equivalent that signifies LAD occlusion and necessitates immediate reperfusion therapy.
May support urgent angiography for de Winter pattern in chest pain; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
The de Winter electrocardiogram pattern is an acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction equivalent, however this specific electrocardiogram change is easily ignored by clinicians. The de Winter electrocardiogram pattern in patients with acute chest pain mostly indicates sub-complete or complete occlusion of the left anterior descending or the diagonal branch. Patients with acute chest pain and such electrocardiographic finding should undergo emergency coronary angiography immediately to determine the coronary condition, and reperfusion therapy should be performed as soon as possible to reduce the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events.
