J wave syndrome: Benign or malignant?
J wave syndrome is an electrical disease of the heart due to pathologic early repolarization. It encompasses a clinical spectrum from aborted sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmia (VA) usually in young affected patients to self-terminating ventricular ectopies, and finally, asymptomatic...

Sumario: | J wave syndrome is an electrical disease of the heart due to pathologic early repolarization. It encompasses a clinical spectrum from aborted sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmia (VA) usually in young affected patients to self-terminating ventricular ectopies, and finally, asymptomatic relatives of probands detected during electrocardiography acquisition (early repolarization pattern). This syndrome consists of 2 phenotypes, early repolarization and Brugada syndrome. Herein, we first describe 2 patients with early repolarization and Brugada syndrome, then, discuss their definition, epidemiology, genetics, cellular mechanism, diagnosis, risk stratification, and finally, therapeutic challenges and options one by one in detail. |
