The accessory papillary muscle with inferior J-waves - peculiarity or hidden danger?
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Originally described in 1953, today the so-called J-wave is the source of much controversy. As a marker of so-called "early repolarization", this variant has been regarded as a totally benign variant since the 1960's. However, since then a wealth o...
