Osborn Wave (J Wave) Overview The Osborn wave (J wave) is a positive deflection at the J point (negative in aVR and V1). It is usually most prominent in the precordial leads. Eponymously associated with John Jay Osborn (1917-2014) following his 1953 ‘current of injury’ description in hypothermic dogs.
What is associated with Osborne or J waves on the ECG?
Osborn wave (J wave). These waves occur due to hypothermia, hypercalcemia, early repolarization and Brugada syndrome.
What does J point elevation indicate?
The term J-point elevation represents a family of ECG findings. It has been described in several metabolic disorders most notably hypothermia (abnormally low body temperature). Subtle nuances in its pattern may point to other conditions, the most common of which is termed ‘early repolarization’.
