It is most commonly associated with hypothermia. These changes will appear as a reciprocal, negative deflection in aVR and V1.</p> <p>The <strong><a href="https://litfl.com/j-point-ecg-library/">J point</a></strong> in the ECG is the point where the QRS complex joins the ST segment. It represents the approximate end of depolarization and the beginning of repolarization as determined by the surface ECG. There is an overlap of around 10ms.</p>
