Abstract: This report describes the case of a 48-year-old man whose electrocardiogram after cardiopulmonary resuscitation showed up-sloping ST-segment depression at the J point in precordial leads combined with tall symmetrical T waves. This electrocardiographic pattern corresponded to de Winter syndrome and is related to proximal left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
