Abstract

Pseudo‐Wellens Syndrome (PWS) refers to absence of severe obstructive lesion in the proximal segment of the left anterior descending (LAD) despite having clinical and electrocardiography (ECG) features similar to Wellens Syndrome (WS). In previous reports, PWS most commonly caused by illicit drug use, stress cardiomyopathy, or unknown etiologies In this report, we aimed to present our case in which we detected the development of "memory T wave" secondary to Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT) episodes as an interesting cause of PWS that has not been reported before.
