Background: Epsilon waves, rarely observed in clinical practice, result from late potentials favoring the development of ventricular rhythm disorders by reentry.
Case Report: A 53-year-old man with sequellar myocardial infarction experienced a syncope. The surface ECG recorded an epsilon wave. Programmed ventricular stimulation before and after anti-arrhythmia drugs triggered ventricular tachycardia which was hemodynamically poorly tolerated. A defibrillator was implanted and confirmed retrospectively the rhythmic origin of the syncope.
Discussion: The association of an epsilon wave and syncope should guide the etiology search towards severe ventricular rhythm disorders such as ventricular tachycardia. An electophysiologic study is required in order to determine the appropriate therapy and thus help avoid possibly fatal recurrence.

A substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filter (BPF) with extraordinary selectivity and an adequate upper stopband for C-band Satellite Communication (SATCOM) applications is proposed in this paper. The design comprises comb-shaped slots engraved on a half-mode SIW (HMSIW) that constitute a multimode resonator (MMR). Its performance is further ameliorated by applying the first and second iterations of the Minkowski fractal curve in the ground plane as a defected ground structure (DGS).

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how wetting speed, polymer mechanical properties, and deformation characteristics are related in graft copolymers made from acrylic monomers and macromonomers.
- It found that the mechanical properties of the polymer films could be changed without significantly affecting their water contact angles by adjusting the macromonomer composition.
- The research concluded that there is a direct correlation between the height of ridge structures formed during wetting and the wetting speed, which can help in designing materials with specific wetting properties relevant for various applications.
