Technical documentation
Wellens Syndrome Type B (Deep Inverted T)
Deeply inverted T waves (<= -0.4 mV), symmetrical and acuminated in V2-V4 with isoelectric ST. Accounts for 75% of Wellens cases due to critical proximal LAD stenosis in pain-free intervals.

Frequently asked clinical questions
How is Wellens Syndrome Type B (Deep Inverted T) identified on the 12-lead ECG?
Deeply inverted T waves (<= -0.4 mV), symmetrical and acuminated in V2-V4 with isoelectric ST. Accounts for 75% of Wellens cases due to critical proximal LAD stenosis in pain-free intervals. The characteristic diagnostic waveforms are generated in real time across the simulated 12-lead tracing.
Which leads are critical for diagnostic confirmation?
The primary diagnostic leads are 12 derivaciones. Deeply inverted, symmetric T waves in anterior precordial leads (V2-V4) during pain-free period. In the simulator, these channels highlight the correlation with anatomical vectors.
What is the underlying electrophysiological or anatomical mechanism?
It represents transmural ischemia secondary to occlusion in the territory of the culprit coronary artery.
How can this condition be explored in the 3D simulator?
MioAtlas offers direct deep-link reproducibility with preconfigured parameters, allowing full 3D cardiac rotation and lead vector inspection.
How do you open this configuration?
The simulator encodes its full state in the query string, providing a stable and reproducible URL:
