Popis: Abstract Background The reported positive predictive value (PPV) for the “de Winter ECG pattern” to predict an acute left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesion is inconsistent. Besides, the morphology of upsloping or nonupsloping ST depression (STD) may have different significance of severity and prognostication. Methods We searched the MEDLINE database using “de Winter” or “junctional ST‐depression with tall symmetrical T‐waves” or “tall T wave” or “STEMI equivalent” as the item up to March 2020. We compared the ECG differences between the different culprit arteries and various morphological STD. Results A total of 70 patients with analyzable ECGs were included. In 60 patients (LAD group), the LAD was the culprit artery, while in 10 patients (non‐LAD group), there were other etiologies. Maximal STD in V2 or V3 had a PPV of 89% of all patients and 98% of patients without ST elevation in V2 to detect an acute LAD lesion. The presence of q/Q‐wave or poor R‐wave progression in the precordial leads was significantly more often found in patients with upsloping STD than in patients with nonupsloping STD in the LAD group (84% vs. 27%, p
