During hypothermia electrocardiogram shows decreasing pulse rate and wave abnormalities, predisposing to fatal complications, such as Osborn wave. Diagnosis and treatment of hypothermia in 88-year-old female, complicated by late delta wave also named J or Osborn wave at ECG, is reported. The presence of J wave requires early and aggressive management to prevent life threatening complications such as atrial and ventricular arrythmias.
