Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4139995-A4139995, November 12, 2024. Background:Although intracoronary acetylcholine (ACh) provocation testing is a guideline-recommended invasive standard for the diagnosis of vasospastic angina (VSA), ACh tests are largely underused in clinical practice globally. Recently, Rinaldi et al.

First ED ECG is Wellens' (pain free). What do you think the prehospital ECG showed (with pain)?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A stent was placed. All of Wellens' cases in his studies (1, 2) had all of: 1) preserved R-waves 2) resolution of pain 3) restored flow to the anterior wall through either a) an open artery or b) collateral circulation. Lessons: 1. Wellens' syndrome represents a state of reperfusion of the infarct related artery 2. de Zwaan C.,

Why we need continuous 12-lead ST segment monitoring in Wellens' syndrome

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

As hours go by, these T inversions always evolve , [unless 1) there is re-occlusion, in which case they go upright and become hyperacute, with or without additional ST elevation, ("pseudonormalize") or 2) no infarction at all (negative troponin, true unstable angina with dynamic T-waves, in which they may normalize). It was stented.
