Abstract

The association of inferolateral J waves with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation has sparked great interest in the genesis of these electrocardiographic waveforms. Thus far, no local measurements are available to directly determine their underlying mechanism. In this review, we will discuss the genesis of electrocardiographic waveforms in general, potential mechanisms of J wave formation, and methods to differentiate these mechanisms
