Popis: The aim of this report was to investigate coronary artery occlusion related to De Winter‐like electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern. A patient admitted to Zhongshan Hospital who was diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome with De Winter‐like ECG pattern was reviewed in our case report. In this case, we found that a De Winter‐like ECG change in the inferior and lateral leads was associated with left circumflex coronary artery occlusion. After a timely reperfusion therapy, the symptom was obviously alleviated with a normalization of upsloping ST‐segment. Doctors should be aware that De Winter‐like ECG changes can also predict acute occlusion in any coronary artery, not only in the left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery but also in the left circumflex coronary artery.
