2.📍Wellen’s syndrome📍
(other names Wellens' sign, Wellens' warning, Wellens' waves):
is a pattern of deeply inverted or biphasic T waves in V2-3, which is highly specific for a critical stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD)
3.📍de Winter sign📍
-ECG abnormality described by de Winter et al. in 1998
-Characterized by 1-3 mm of ST-depression with upright, symmetrical T-waves
-Suspicious for proximal occlusion of the LAD
-Recognized as a STEMI equivalent by Rokos et al. in 2010
4.📍Hyperacute T waves📍
Broad, asymmetrically peaked or ‘hyperacute’ T-waves are seen in the early stages of ST-elevation MI (STEMI) and often precede the appearance of ST elevation and Q waves.

They are also seen with Prinzmetal angina
5.📍Left bundle branch block📍
QRS duration of>120 ms
Dominant S wave in V1
Broad monophasic R wave in lateral leads(I,aVL,V5-V6)
Absence of Q waves in lateral leads (I, V5-V6; small Q waves are still allowed in aVL)
Prolonged R wave peak time>60ms in left precordial leads(V5-6)
6.📍Right bundle branch block📍
-Broad QRS > 120 ms;
-RSR’ pattern in V1-3 (‘M-shaped’ QRS complex);
-Wide, slurred S wave in the lateral leads (I, aVL, V5-6);
