The correct answer is Osborn wave. Hypothermia may produce prominent Osborn waves, also known as J waves, along with prolonged QRS and QT intervals. In addition to hypothermia, J waves have been associated with conditions that can occur in normothermia (e.g., hypercalcemia, the Brugada syndrome, and neurologic injury).
