Routine chest roentgenograms and electrocardiograms. Usefulness in the hypertensive workup.
We reviewed the records of all patients entering the hypertension Clinic in 1974. One hundred sixteen met the criteria for hypertension and had a routine chest roentgenogram and/or ECG obtained for the evaluation of hypertension, Routine chest films and ECGs led to therapeutic or diagnostic interventions in only two instances, were not useful as baseline examinations, were never used for progno...
متن کاملAn update on early repolarization(ER) syndrome
Early repolarization (ER), also known ‘J-waves’ or ‘J-point elevation’, is an electrocardiographic abnormality consistent with elevation of the junction between the end of the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment in 2 contiguous leads. Many studies have shown that the ER ECG pattern is a sign of increased mortality. In this issue of the EP update, we have summarized the recent resear...
متن کاملRole of Early Repolarization Pattern in Increasing Risk of Death.
BACKGROUND An early repolarization pattern (ERP) has been hypothesized to be arrhythmogenic in experimental studies, but the prognostic significance of the ERP in the general population is controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to examine the link between ERP and the risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), cardiac death, and death from any cause. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a literatur...
متن کاملEarly Repolarization and Arrhythmia Death
We appreciate the acknowledgement that the foreign gas rebreathing method is highly accurate for measuring the effective cardiac output (the blood flow to ventilated lung). This technique and its development are reviewed in great detail in an outstanding paper by Laszlo (5). Investigators at our institution, UT Southwestern, developed the most common modification of this technique, which made i...
متن کاملEarly Repolarization in Athletes
Early repolarization (ER) on ECG was initially described in 1936 and has been considered a benign ECG finding for more than half a century. However, in 2008, a seminal study by Haïssaguerre et al challenged this view by demonstrating an association between ER and an increased risk of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF). To reconcile these apparently contradictory views, as well as to bette...
