Abstract
Anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction can present with a specific electrocardiographic (ECG)
pattern without ST segment elevations, known as De Winter sign. Recognizing this ECG pattern is
important since it is considered an equivalent to ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), hence
may require thrombolysis when primary PCI facilities are not available or delayed. We report a28
year old male who presented to us with de winters ecg pattern. Subsequent coronary angiogram
showed Proxmial left anterior descending (LAD) artery occlusion.
