Conduction Delay-Induced J-Wave Augmentation in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease.
American Journal of Cardiology 2019 April 16
Electrocardiogram records were surveyed for the presence of an atrial premature beat (APB) and J waves in patients with coronary heart disease and patients with noncardiac diseases. The prevalence and response of J waves to sudden shortening of the RR interval on the conducted APB were determined and compared between the 2 patients groups. The change in the QRS complexes on the APB was also determined. Among 17,013 patients, 243 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction or angina pectoris had an APB, and J waves were observed in 16 patients (6.6%). In an additional 729 patients with noncardiac diseases and APB, 19 patients showed J waves (2.6%; p = 0.010). The clinical features were almost similar between the ischemic and nonischemic groups. J waves were located more often in inferior and high lateral leads in the ischemic group. When the RR interval shortened from 942 ± 228 to 621 ± 175 ms and 869 ± 158 to 570 ± 118 ms at baseline and in the conducted APB (p<0.001 for both), the J-wave amplitude increased from 0.16 ± 0.04 to 0.19 ± 0.06 mV (p<0.001) and 0.21 ± 0.07 to 0.24 ± 0.08 mV (p = 0.010) in the ischemic and nonischemic groups, respectively. J waves in patients with chronic coronary heart disease and in patients with noncardiac diseases were augmented at short RR intervals together with distinct changes in the QRS complexes, and an augmentation of J waves at short RR interval may represent a conduction delay.
