Sumario:BACKGROUND: The electrocardiogram has a critical role in the diagnosis and risk assessment of patients presenting with chest pain in the emergency ward. CASE PRESENTATION: We present 11 Iranian patients with diagnosis of de Winter referred to our center. Right coronary artery involvement was seen in four cases, left circumflex artery in three cases, proximal left anterior descending artery in two cases, and middle left anterior descending artery in seven cases. We present the case of a 52-year old Iranian male patient in detail. CONCLUSION: Recognizing the electrocardiogram of de Winter as an ST-elevation myocardial infarction equivalent in cases with suspected acute infarction is very important.
