As a medical professional with expertise in cardiology, I can provide you with an accurate description of a J wave.
A J wave, also known as an Osborn wave, is a distinctive pattern observed on the surface Electrocardiogram (ECG). It is characterized by a deflection that occurs immediately after the QRS complex, which represents the electrical activity of the ventricles during depolarization. When the J wave is partially hidden within the R wave (the final wave of the QRS complex), it may appear as a J point elevation or an ST segment elevation. The J wave is of particular interest to clinicians because it can be associated with certain conditions, such as hypothermia or the presence of a particular type of ventricular arrhythmia known as the J wave syndrome.

The J wave, also referred to as an Osborn wave, is a deflection immediately following the QRS complex of the surface ECG. When partially buried in the R wave, the J wave appears as a J point elevation or ST segment elevation.
