Epsilon waves as an extreme form of depolarization delay : Focusing on the arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia
(2020) In Current Cardiology Reviews 17(1). p.17-23- Abstract
Revision of the Task Force diagnostic criteria (TFC) for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D), in 2010, has increased the sensitivity for the diagnosis of early and familial forms of the disease. Epsilon wave (EW) is a major diagnostic criterion in the context of ARVC/D, however, it remains unquantifiable and therefore, may leave room for substan-tial subjective interpretation, thus, explaining the existing high inter-observer variability in the assessment of EW. EW, when present, coexists with other disease characteristics, which are suffi-cient for ARVC/D diagnosis, making EW generally not required for ARVC/D diagnosis. Neverthe-less, EW remains an important part of the electrocardiographic phenotype of... (More)

Neverthe-less, EW remains an important part of the electrocardiographic phenotype of ARVC/D that may be useful in planning diagnostic work-up, which needs to be recognized.
