J wave syndromes Antzelevitch C; Yan GXHeart Rhythm 2010[Apr]; 7 (4): 549-58The J wave, also referred to as an Osborn wave, is a deflection immediately following the QRS complex of the surface ECG. When partially buried in the R wave, the J wave appears as J-point elevation or ST-segment elevation. Several lines of evidence have suggested that arrhythmias associated with an early repolarization pattern in the inferior or mid to lateral precordial leads, Brugada syndrome, or arrhythmias associated with hypothermia and the acute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction are mechanistically linked to abnormalities in the manifestation of the transient outward current (I(to))-mediated J wave. Although Brugada syndrome and early repolarization syndrome differ with respect to the magnitude and lead location of abnormal J-wave manifestation, they can be considered to represent a continuous spectrum of phenotypic expression that we propose be termed J-wave syndromes. This review summarizes our current state of knowledge concerning J-wave syndromes, bridging basic and clinical aspects. We propose to divide early repolarization syndrome into three subtypes: type 1, which displays an early repolarization pattern predominantly in the lateral precordial leads, is prevalent among healthy male athletes and is rarely seen in ventricular fibrillation survivors; type 2, which displays an early repolarization pattern predominantly in the inferior or inferolateral leads, is associated with a higher level of risk; and type 3, which displays an early repolarization pattern globally in the inferior, lateral, and right precordial leads, is associated with the highest level of risk for development of malignant arrhythmias and is often associated with ventricular fibrillation storms.|*Electrocardiography[MESH]|Arrhythmias, Cardiac/*diagnosis/*physiopathology[MESH]|Humans[MESH] |
