Abstract

We describe a clinical case series of 3 patients whose electrocardiogram evolved from type A Wellens syndrome to a type B. We emphasize that the diagnosis and treatment for both patterns is the same and that these findings suggest the evolution of the same disease.

Keywords: Wellens; acute coronary syndrome; electrocardiogram; high-risk patterns; myocardial infarction; syndrome.
