'''1982''' Hein J. J. Wellens et al first described a characteristic ECG pattern of T waves in the mid-precordial leads (esp. V2-3) that were associated with a tight, critical stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Later eponymously referred to as Wellens' warning or syndrome. <cite> | '''1982''' Hein J. J. Wellens et al first described a characteristic ECG pattern of T waves in the mid-precordial leads (esp.
