Background: J waves may develop during coronary angiography (CAG).
Patients And Results: Seven patients (61±6 years, 6 male) had vasospastic angina. ST-segment elevation and ventricular fibrillation were documented in all patients. CAG revealed normal arteries, but slurring or notching (J waves) with an amplitude of 0.20±0.06 mV appeared for the first time (n=6) or in an augmented manner (n=1) with distinct alterations in QRS morphology when contrast medium was injected into the right coronary artery.
Conclusion: In patients with vasospastic angina, J waves observed during CAG can be a manifestation of a local conduction delay caused by contrast medium-induced myocardial ischemia.
