Just for more info. Can anyone add helpful EKG terms. I'll start:

1)Wellens' Sign
2)Spodick's Sign

Are you just talking any eponymous EKG thing? Brugada and Wolff-Parkinson-White are classic testables.

Addendum: Any eponym that may aid in a diagnosis.

They can both mimic STEMI.

It's not an eponym, but there was an attending on my inpatient IM clerkship who loved to quiz students and residents on "cerebral T waves," which I had never heard of before then.

This is what I am talking of: There are many nuances in the EKG world. (Although one must still now the basics.) It's nice to know some of the isolated info.👍
From what I gather cerebral T waves are T wave inversions greater then or equal to 5 mm in contiguous leads. More suggestive of acute ischemic stroke or increased intracranial pressure.
