J wave syndrome is an electrical disease of the heart due to pathologic early repolarization. It encompasses a clinical spectrum from aborted sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmia (VA) usually in young affected patients to self-terminating ventricular ectopies, and finally, asymptomatic relatives of probands detected during electrocardiography acquisition (early repolarization pattern). This syndrome consists of 2 phenotypes, early repolarization and Brugada syndrome. Herein, we first describe 2 patients with early repolarization and Brugada syndrome, then, discuss their definition, epidemiology, genetics, cellular mechanism, diagnosis, risk stratification, and finally, therapeutic challenges and options one by one in detail.
J波综合征是一种因病理性早期复极所致的心脏电疾病。它涵盖了一系列临床情况,从通常在年轻患病患者中因室性心律失常(VA)导致的心脏骤停猝死,到自行终止的室性早搏,最后是在心电图检查时检测出的先证者无症状亲属(早期复极模式)。该综合征包括两种表型,即早期复极和Brugada综合征。在此,我们首先描述2例早期复极和Brugada综合征患者,然后详细逐一讨论它们的定义、流行病学、遗传学、细胞机制、诊断、风险分层,以及最后的治疗挑战和选择。
