De Winter sign combined with pronounced aVR lead ST segment elevation and left anterior fascicular block: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe de Winter electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern, characterized by upsloping ST-segment depression and tall T waves in leads V1-V6, is typically associated with proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery occlusion. When combined with pronounced ST-segment elevation in lead aVR, it may indicate a more severe coronary artery involvement. CASE PRESENTATION: A 36-year-old male smoker presented with acute chest pain for 2 h. Initial ECG showed J-point depression with upsloping ST-segment depression of 1-5 mm in leads V2-V6, accompanied by tall T waves, characteristic of the de Winter sign. Additionally, there was approximately 2.5 mm ST-segment elevation in aVR and left anterior fascicular block (LAFB). Diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), he underwent emergency coronary angiography, revealing complete LMCA occlusion. Successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) restored blood flow. Postoperatively, LAFB resolved. The patient recovered well without complications. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was diagnosed and managed. He was discharged with follow-up and lifestyle modifications.
conclusionsThis case highlights the clinical significance of the de Winter sign with pronounced aVR ST segment elevation, which may suggest severe coronary artery disease. The resolution of LAFB post-PCI suggests reversibility of conduction abnormalities with improved perfusion. Early recognition and intervention are crucial for better outcomes. Clinicians should be vigilant about this rare ECG pattern.
