Document Details : Title: Giant J-wave and Brugada-like pattern in a patient with severe hypothermia Author(s): E. Kowalczyk , J.D. Kasprzak , P. Lipiec Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 69 Issue: 1 Date: 2014 Pages: 66-67 DOI: 10.2143/AC.69.1.3011349 Abstract : We describe a patient with severe hypothermia, in whom the electrocardiogram showed giant J-waves, also known as Osborn waves, distinguishable in the inferior and anterolateral leads. Moreover, a Brugada-like pattern was also visible in leads V2 and V3. The presented case and ECG findings may contribute to the discussion about the pathophysiologic mechanism underlying Brugada syndrome and giant J-wave. |
