Electrocardiograms were performed on 50 anaesthetized baboons ( Papio ursinus ). A positive deflection, referred to by us as the H‐wave, consistently occurs at the junction between the QRS complex and the S‐T segment. The significance of this deflection at the J‐point, as the junction is known, is still to be established; however, characterization of the H‐wave regarding amplitude and position with respect to the R‐wave is done.
