Figure 2 Electrocardiogram of a male patient with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation with J waves in the inferior leads. Leads II, III, and aVF are also enlarged to show the horizontal/descending ST segment.

Figure 3 Distribution of patients with early repolarization according to the morphology of their ST segment. Patients with either J-point elevation or slurred R wave are shown in panel A, whereas patients only with J-point elevation are shown in panel B. VF = ventricular fibrillation.
