“…The comparison between recording from a standard ECG and the Fontaine Lead System was also noted (Figure b). This was observed in serial studies (Chiladakis, Zagli, Karantalis, & Alexopoulos, ; Fontaine et al., ; Gottschalk et al., ; Hurst, ; Kukla, Jastrzebski, & Kurdzielewicz, ; Marcus et al., ; Moreira et al., ; Wang et al., ), to assist in establishing a definitive diagnosis of ARVD by the Task Force Criteria (Marcus et al., ; McKenna et al., ).…”

The Epsilon wave was first identified in 1977. Four decades of progress help people to better understand its pathological electrogenesis and diagnostic value. Currently, the Epsilon wave is on the list of the 2010 Task Force recommendations for the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD). In this review, we provide the history of the first recording of the Epsilon wave in coronary artery disease and Uhl's anomaly, subsequently leading to the signal averaging technique to record late potentials. Based on our experience, we discuss some existing controversies. When we look back at the decades of progress of the Epsilon wave, we conclude that the Epsilon wave is only the tip of the iceberg of ECG abnormalities in ARVD.

“…This placement is performed to detect more specifically the signals caused by the postponed RV fibers, covering the involved areas of the RV (Figure 10). The potential to detect Epsilon waves may also be increased by enhancing the sensitivity of detection [3,5,26,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. The detection rate of Epsilon waves was increased to more than 70% by FLS [26].…”

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), first recognized in 1977, is an inherited cardiomyopathy mostly due to mutations in both desmosomal and non-desmosomal genes. ARVD is considered as a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in the young and the athlete. It is characterized by an abnormality in the development of the right ventricular (RV) musculature. The final diagnosis of ARVD was pathologically based on the findings characterized by fibro-fatty infiltration and cardiomyocyte loss predominantly affecting the RV. Epsilon waves are a feature of ARVD reflecting postexcitation of the myocytes in the RV that are interspersed between fibrous and fatty tissue. Epsilon waves are considered to be one of the major diagnostic criteria of ARVD and appear to correlate with the extent of ARVD and arrhythmic risk. In this review, we will briefly review the discovery of ARVD and Epsilon waves, discuss the electrogenesis and various methods for recording Epsilon waves, provide evidence to assist in understanding the pathological and functional changes of the heart in ARVD, thus promoting the management of this disease in patients and family members.
