Wellens syndrome
Biphasic T waves in v2-3
Thought to be due to reperfusion of a previously clotted LAD
NSR with single (unifocal) PVC. ??Some nonspecific ST segment changes (T wave inversion in the precordial leads)
yes - worrisome T wave findings

Well?
This is Wellens’ syndrome. The worrisome finding is biphasic ST-T waves in the precordial leads V1-V4. These segments demonstrate elevations that are arched or bowed upward followed by prominent negative T waves. This suggests high grade stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending artery.
