Abstract

A plea is made for not using in publications the terms J-wave syndromes and early repolarization until such terms are properly defined by appropriate task forces established by recognized authorities. The currently used electrographic terminology, including J-point elevation, meets our needs. (J Am Coll Cardiol 2011;57:1584-6) (C) 2011 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation
