Abstract
A significant number of patients with acute coronary occlusion present with atypical electrocardiographic features in the emergency department. The de Winter pattern is suggestive of proximal left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion. Timely identification and immediate reperfusion is of utmost importance in these cases. The electrocardiographic pattern and its evolution in a young patient with acute myocardial infarction is described here.
