title: [Electrocardiographic Osborn wave in hypothermia].
abstract: The authors report the first Hungarian case of electrocardiographic Osborn wave with accidental hypothermia (core temperature 32 degrees C). The cellular and ionic mechanisms of the development of J-wave-elevation and the cardiac electrophysiological and ECG changes caused by hypothermia are briefly reviewed. An account is presented of those conditions in which, in a few or in all ECG leads, an Osborn wave or distinct J-point-elevation may be observed.
