Abstract:
The authors present a case where the admission ECG showed extensive deep negative U-waves in the precordial leads, in addition to the precordial negative T-waves characteristic of Wellens syndrome. After stenting of the critical stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery, only the U-wave inversion disappeared, while the Wellens repolarization disorder persisted. The authors discuss the different dynamics of ischemic repolarization disorders in this case. Orv Hetil. 2026; 167(22): 885-888.
