Abstract

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the leading causes of acute chest pain, requiring emergency care and eventual hospitalization. Wellens’ syndrome is one such example, which in ACS patients is a catastrophic event often accompanied by extensive anterior myocardial infarction and high mortality rates. Wellens’ syndrome is a pattern of T-wave changes seen in the anterior (V2-V3) leads on critical stenosis of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. We reported a 65-year-old man admitted to our emergency facility because of intermittent chest pain that had been experienced for the past 2 days. An initial ECG performed in the emergency room while pain free showed sinus rhythm with biphasic T waves in V2–4 which is typical of Wellen's Syndrome. Chest x-ray shows cardiomegaly. Cardiac enzyme examination showed an increase in CKMB and Troponin T levels of 18.40 U/L and 560 ng/L respectively. The echocardiography (ECHO) demonstrated a hypokinesis of the anteroseptal with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 47 %. Cardiac catheterization showed total occlusion in the mid-LAD and other coronary arteries had non-significant lesions. He then underwent balloon angioplasty and placement of a stent in the proximal and mid LAD with a good result. Wellen’s syndrome often represents a pre-infarction state of myocardial infarction. Early recognition of these ECG features is crucial to identify these high-risk clients, and the definitive evaluation and treatment is cardiac catheterization with intervention to relieve the LAD obstruction.

Abstract

Background: Accurate assessment of coronary lesion burden in the initial stage is the basis for appropriate therapy in NSTEMI patients. As a parameter derived from the ECG that reflects ventricular repolarization variability, the Tp-e/QTc ratio is suggested as a noninvasive predictor for assessing anatomical complexity. Objective: Investigating the relationship of Tp-e/QTc with the severity of coronary lesions on angiography assessed using the SYNTAX score, in patients with NSTEMI. Methods: Utilized a retrospective cohort approach with a cross-sectional design. In total, 141 patients were selected by utilizing purposive sampling. The Tp-e and QTc intervals were manually measured from 12-lead ECGs using the tangent method, and the Tp-e/QTc ratio was calculated. SYNTAX scores were independently determined by two interventional cardiologists. Data were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analyses. Result: Higher SYNTAX group (0.26 ± 0.047) had higher Tp-e/QTc than lower SYNTAX group (0.21 ± 0.052). Tp-e/QTc showed a positive correlation with SYNTAX score (r = 0.395; p < 0.001) and remained an independent predictor (β = 0.332; p = 0.001). The ROC curve displayed strong discrimination (AUC = 0.817), a cut-off of 0.24 yielded 82.7% sensitivity and 76.4% specificity. Conclusion: Tp-e/QTc is associated with angiographic complexity in NSTEMI and may support early risk stratification prior to angiography.
