TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - J wave and hypothermia JO - Dynamics A1 - Wong, Frankie W. H. SP - 17 EP - 18 VL - 16 IS - 4 N2 - Hypothermia can result from exposure to a cold environment (e.g., accidental drowning) or it can be induced and used as a brain protection strategy (e.g., therapeutic hypothermia). One common ECG presentation with hypothermia is the J wave, which is related to the altered cellular activities during hypothermia. A case study is used in this article to illustrate the presentation of a J wave with a patient experiencing hypothermia.
