Clinical significance of J waves with respect to substrate characteristics and ablation outcomes in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

Article Synopsis
- J-wave syndrome in ARVC patients is linked to a higher risk of ventricular arrhythmias, prompting a study on its impact on ablation results.
- Of the 45 patients studied, 13 had J waves, and these patients exhibited more severe arrhythmic symptoms compared to those without J waves.
- J waves were associated with longer epicardial activation times and a notable lack of concordance in endocardial and epicardial activation sites, indicating a complex electrophysiological pattern in ARVC patients.

Early repolarization syndrome (ERS) is characterized by the presence, in most cases in mid-to-lateral precordial leads, of a J wave on the downsloping portion of the QRS complex, followed by an elevation of the ST-segment with upward concavity. ERS is considered a benign electrocardiographic pattern of ventricular repolarization and, thus far, clinical interest in this syndrome has been confined to its differential diagnosis from myocardial infarction and pericarditis. Brugada syndrome (BS), an inherited cardiac disease first described in 1992, exhibits a characteristic electrocardiographic pattern consisting of a J wave mimicking a right bundle branch block with typical ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads.
