Electrocardiographic J waves as a hyperacute sign of Takotsubo syndrome
14 May 2012
Alessandro Zorzi, Federico Migliore, Martina Perazzolo Marra, Giuseppe Tarantini, Sabino Iliceto, Domenico Corrado
Abstract: Typical electrocardiographic (ECG) signs of acute Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) consist of ST-segment elevation and/or T wave inversion. We report an unusual case of a 62-year-old woman with TTS ...
Prevalence of acute myocardial infarction in patients with presumably new left bundle-branch block
10 May 2012
Nilay Mehta, Henry D. Huang, Salman Bandeali, James M. Wilson, Yochai Birnbaum
Abstract: Objectives: We assessed the prevalence of true acute myocardial infarction and the need for emergent revascularization among patients with new or presumably new left bundle branch block (nLB...
Prevalence and clinical correlates of early repolarization and J wave in a large cohort of subjects without overt heart disease
10 May 2012
Gaetano A. Lanza, Roberto Mollo, Alessandro Cosenza, Gaetano Pinnacchio, Giulia Careri, Marianna Laurito, Filippo Crea
Abstract: Background: Recent studies have suggested that early repolarization (ER) is associated with increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Early repolarization in these studies, however, wa...
T-wave morphology after epinephrine bolus may reveal silent long QT syndrome mutation carriers
07 May 2012
Anna-Mari Hekkala, Väänänen Heikki, Swan Heikki, Viitasalo Matti, Toivonen Lauri
Abstract: Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) gene mutation carriers with indeterminate electrocardiogram frequently escape clinical diagnosis. We assessed the use of epinephrine bolus injection in re...
The electrocardiographic diagnosis of intraventricular blocks coexisting with ventricular preexcitation
07 May 2012
Pablo A. Chiale, Marcelo V. Elizari
Abstract: The electrocardiographic diagnosis of intraventricular conduction disturbances may be hindered by the coexistence of ventricular preexcitation. In fact, the premature depolarization of ventr...

About the Journal of Electrocardiology

The Journal of Electrocardiology is devoted exclusively to clinical and experimental studies of the electrical activities of the heart. It seeks to contribute significantly to the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis and the effective treatment, prevention, or delay of heart disease. Editorial contents include electrocardiography, vectorcardiography, arrhythmias, membrane action potential, cardiac pacing, monitoring defibrillation, instrumentation, drug effects, and computer applications.

Publishing Information

Journal of Electrocardiology is published by Elsevier for the International Society for Computerized Electrocardiology and the International Society of Electrocardiology.

Society Information

The International Society for Computerized Electrocardiology is devoted to the advancement of electrocardiography through the application of computer methods. The Society has several goals and objectives, including sponsorship and organization of the conference, "Research and Technology Transfer in Computerized Electrocardiology"; promotion of research in the use of computer processing in electrocardiology; dissemination of research results through the conference and publication of its proceedings in supplemental issues of the Journal of Electrocardiology; promulgation of technology transfer by fostering collaborative links between research, industry, and medical practice; and development of innovative methods for communication and education relevant to the field of computerized electrocardiology.

The International Society of Electrocardiology is dedicated to promoting the advancement of the science of electrocardiology by facilitating the dissemination of new knowledge in electrocardiology; encouraging new research in the field; sponsoring International Congresses on Electrocardiology; assisting with satellite meetings related to electrocardiology by promoting meetings, lectures, discussions, seminars, conferences and by any other appropriate means.
