Jan 2, 2014 · Wellens’ syndrome presents as one of two characteristic T-wave abnormalities on electrocardiography. Type B (approximately 75% of cases) shows deeply inverted and symmetric T-waves (figure 1). Type A (approximately 25% of cases) shows biphasic T-waves, with an initial positive deflection, and terminal negative deflection (figure 2).
