J Point Depression During Exercise

Recent reports critical of the performance of heart rate-adjusted indexes of ST depression during exercise electrocardiography have used J-point rather than ST segment measurements. Augmentation of STsegment elevation in leads V1 and V2 appeared during the recovery phase after exercise in 66 patients Figure S1A through S1C.

J point depression is normal during exercise and it is not a diagnostic problem because there is no actual ST depression.

J point depression during exercise. 1232009 The criteria for ischaemia in electrocardiography during exercise and recovery were horizontal or down-sloping ST-depression 10 mm at 80 ms after J point or any ST depression of more than 10 mm at 80 ms after J point. The depression of the J point in normal people result in marked ST-segment upsloping associated with competition between normal repolarization and delayed terminal depolarization forces rather than ischemia. It must satisfy two criteria.

8222018 Physiological ST segment depressions occur during physical exercise. Thus it would be reasonable to consider patients with slow upsloping ST depression during exercise as having a very low likelihood of CAD similar to patients with rapid upsloping ST depression. P wave amplitude height increases.

Depression of J-point that leads to marked ST-Segment upsloping may be caused by competition between normal repolarization and delayed terminal depolarization forces rather than by ischemia 58-60. Hyperventilation bring about the same ST segment depressions as physical exercise. There was no difference in the J-point displacement or the ST segment slope between the trained and untrained subjects.

Isolated junctional S-T depression induced during treadmill exercise testing was correlated with coronary arteriographic findings in 230 patients. 312002 It is generally accepted that 1 mm horizontal or downsloping ST-segment depression at 008 seconds after the J point Figure 1 A during exercise treadmill testing ETT signifies a positive stress test and predicts ischemia and coronary artery disease CAD1 2. Typical ischemic pattern is seen at 3 minutes of the.

The J-point depression and tall peaked T waves observed during exercise may be sustained during recovery in normal people. J point depression is a normal finding during maximal exercise and a rapid upsloping ST segment more than 1 mVsec depressed less than 015 mV 15 mm after the J point should be considered to be normal. J point depression may be observed.

In patient subsets with a high CAD prevalence a slow upsloping ST segment depressed 015 mV or more at 80 ms after the J point. ESTNot all types of ST segment are pathologicalThe ST segment should depress atleast 1 mm below the isoelectric segment and it should be depressed for 80msec from the J point. 6202016 Healthy subjects may have J-point depression and an enhanced T-wave at high intensities exercise and also recovery.

PR segment may be downsloping in inferior leads. Up-sloping depression of less than 1 mm at 80 ms beyond the J point E is simply J point depression and not ST segment depression. This study suggests that any J-point depression during exercise may be abnormal in the adolescent male.

Training does not have an effect on the J-point or ST segment at maximum exercise. 10232017 The J point at peak exertion is depressed 25 mm the ST segment slope is 15 mVsec and the ST segment level at 80 msec after the J point is depressed 16 mm. 7222018 UPSLOPING ST SEGMENTS.

Slow upsloping ST segment at peak exercise indicates an ischemic pattern in patients with a high coronary disease prevalence pretest. These ST segment depressions display an upsloping ST segment typically depressed 1 mm in the J-60 point and the depressions are normalized rapidly after the exercise has ended. STsegment level at the J point in leads V1 and V2 decreased during exercise and became minimum at the peak of exercise and then it gradually recovered to the baseline level after exercise.

No J-point depression was seen and the ST segment slope was positive during exercise in both trained and untrained subjects. Slow upsloping ST depression does not signify more severe ischemia more extensive CAD or more stress-induced backward left ventricular failure. The following ECG changes may occur in healthy subjects during the treadmill exercise test PR QRS and QT intervals shorten.

ST segment elevation observed during treadmill exercise test is less frequent than ST segment depression. The right panel of Figure 4 shows an upsloping ST depression with depressed J-60 point and J-80 point. However no standard exists for the optimal time after the J-point at which to measure ST segment deviation.

Slow upsloping ST segment may be the only finding in patients with obstructive CAD. In summary J point depression is not caused by ischemia. 942009 ST segment depression is the classical response to stress during excercise stress testing.
