Inverted U Waves—Red Flags in Electrocardiograms

Abstract

This case report presents the electrocardiogram findings of a patient in their 50s with intermittent compression-like pain in the chest and a history of hypertension and diabetes.

Title : Separating Inverted U wave syndrome described by Dr. Gerson from Wellen’s syndrome is meaning less as both describing exactly the same condition

“…With great interest, I read the paper about challenges in Electrocardiography entitled "Inverted U Waves-Red Flags in Electrocardiogram" by Shu et al (1) Initially, the authors correctly described Wellen's syndrome (2) that was seen in their patient's first EKG consistent with proximal LAD disease. However, they described the second EKG as an Inverted U wave syndrome with reference to Dr. Gerson who described first time this condition.…”
