Malign kardiyak aritmilerin nadir bir EKG bulgusu olarak J dalgası

Acil serviste ventriküler fibrilasyon saptanan ve kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon uygulanıp, yaşamını kaybeden 76 yaşında bir kadın hastayı sunduk. Bu olgumuzda spontan dolaşıma geri dönüş sağlandıktan sonra hastanın elektrokardiyogramında gördüğümüz J dalgasını aritmi riski nedeni ile önemini vurguladık.

J wave as a rare ECG finding of malignant cardiac arrhythmia

In this case report, we present a 76-year-old female patient diagnosed with ventricular fibrillation in the emergency department who died after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The importance of observing J waves in a patient’s electrocardiogram after spontaneous return to circulation is addressed in terms of the risk of arrhythmia.
