Key Words Acute coronary syndrome; De Winter; Syndrome; Electrocardiographic pattern; ST-elevation myocardial infarction equivalent
Core Tip The three forms of the de Winter (dW) phenomenon (dW pattern, dW sign, or syndrome) are used similarly in contemporary literature. This phenomenon has unique risk factors, pathophysiology, and angiographic characteristics. It should be managed as an indicator of ST-elevation myocardial infarction equivalent that requires urgent intervention. However, it is often underrecognized and therefore requires a high index of suspicion. Age and gender are associated with distinct culprit lesions and coronary artery involvement in this phenomenon. By integrating current evidence, prompt recognition and aggressive reperfusion strategies, such as those used in ST-elevation myocardial infarction protocols, are crucial for improving outcomes in this high-risk presentation.
