Abstract
Wellens syndrome is characterised by negative or biphasic T waves in V2-V4 leads and critical stenosis of proximal part of the left descending coronary artery. These ECG changes without atherosclerotic changes in coronary angiography, i.e. coronary artery spasm are called pseudo-Wellens syndrome. We describe a patient with acute coronary syndrome and pseudo-Wellens syndrome as a cause of vasospastic angina. These ECG abnormalities need differentiation with acute pulmonary embolism.Entities:
