3 Figure 1 A: Electrocardiographic (ECG) variations in inferolateral J waves. Left: Valsalva or strong inspiration maneuver producing J-wave amplification. Middle: Cycle length prolongation associated with either unchanged pattern or amplification. Right: Negative J waves in inferior leads and positive J waves in lateral leads. Note the increase of J wave after the pause (arrow). B: Hierarchical view of ECG and clinical risk factors. LQT = long QT; SCD = sudden cardiac death; SHD = structural heart disease; VPB = ventricular premature beat. Heart Rhythm DOI: ( /j.hrthm ) Copyright © 2018 The Authors Terms and Conditions

4 Figure 2 Inferolateral J-wave syndrome due to abnormal depolarization. Top middle maps show bipolar electrogram voltage (purple indicating voltage >1 mV) with low voltage in inferior right ventricle. Bottom middle maps show activation mapping, with blue indicating the latest activated regions, here in the inferobasal right ventricle. Right: Fragmented electrograms (Egms) preceding and coincident with the J wave (white contour) in bipolar and unipolar (arrows) mode. Left: The 12 lead-ECG in a 19 year- old man who survived VF. ECG = electrocardiogram. Heart Rhythm DOI: ( /j.hrthm ) Copyright © 2018 The Authors Terms and Conditions

5 Figure 3 Inferolateral J-wave syndrome due to abnormal depolarization. The maps (middle) show activation mapping, with blue indicating the latest activated regions, here the inferobasal right and left ventricles. Right: Low-voltage fragmented electrograms (Egms) coincident with J wave are only present in the inferior right ventricle (white contour) compared with Egms in the inferior left ventricle. Left: The 12 lead-ECG in a 31 year- old man who survived VF. ECG = electrocardiogram. Heart Rhythm DOI: ( /j.hrthm ) Copyright © 2018 The Authors Terms and Conditions

6 Figure 4 Inferolateral J-wave syndrome due to early repolarization. Top middle maps show bipolar electrogram voltage without evidence of low-voltage area. Bottom middle maps shows the latest activated regions (blue) in the inferobasal and laterobasal right ventricle. Right: There are no late depolarization electrograms coincident to the J wave but slow early repolarization potentials (arrows), which are present in the apical region (white-dotted area). Note that the J wave is small on lead II (right) and underestimates the extent of early repolarization recorded by epicardial mapping. Left: A 6 lead- ECG in a 15 year-old girl with recurrent VF.

7 Figure 5 Another case of early repolarization. Twelve-lead ECGs (left) show a global J-wave pattern. There are no late depolarization bipolar electrograms coincident with the J wave (between the red lines), but early repolarization potentials (arrows) are recorded diffusely in the inferior left ventricle (right). Ant = anterior; ECG = electrocardiogram; inf = inferior; LV = left ventricle. Heart Rhythm DOI: ( /j.hrthm ) Copyright © 2018 The Authors Terms and Conditions

8 Figure 6 Typical location of ventricular fibrillation (VF) driver regions. The locations of reentries are shown in red. They are predominantly located in the right ventricle in late depolarization J waves (left) vs the inferior septum in early repolarization (right).
