Depolarization/conduction [greater than or equal to] 1 of 3 abnormalities: parameters in the absence of a QRS duration o [greater than or * Epsilon wave (reproducible equal to] 110 ms on the standard low-amplitude signals between the ECG.
His post-cardioversion ECG showed persistent T-wave inversions in leads [V.sub.1], [V.sub.2], and [V.sub.3] as well as epsilon waves [Figure 2].
These included the documentation of sustained VT of the morphology described in Table 1 (arrhythmia criteria), the presence of epsilon waves (depolarization criteria) and T-wave inversions in [V.sub.1], [V.sub.2], and [V.sub.3] in the absence of complete Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) (repolarization criteria).
After DC, control ECG showed right bundle branch block with epsilon wave in V1 and ST segment depression in precordial leads (V2-V4) (Fig.
Twelve-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showed inverted T waves and epsilon wave in VI-V4 (Fig.
Complete or incomplete right bundle brunch block, prolongation of right precordial (IRS duration and a small, discrete wave just beyond the (IRS in particularly Vi, designated as epsilon wave, are the depolarization abnormalities.
On admission, the electrocardiogram showed that T-wave inversions were visible in most leads, QRS duration was prolonged with 120 ms, and the terminal depolarizations might be interpreted as epsilon waves in leads V1–V5 [Figure 1]a arrows].
Epsilon waves were observed in the probands carrying the mutation in the genes coding for the desmosomal proteins but not in the patients with TGF/3-3 gene mutation (12).
