Abstract: | The J wave, also known as Osborn wave, is a deflection that can be observed on the surface ECG as a late delta wave, seen at the end of the QRS complex. In this case, a 75-year-old woman, after 1 day of continuous haemodialysis, showed a marked hypothermia (28.5°C) and severe hypokalaemia (1.7 mEq/l). Bradycardia was seen on the monitor and J waves were recognised on the ECG recording. After appropriate replacement of potassium and treatment of hypothermia, the J waves disappeared spontaneously. |
