Early repolarization pattern in competitive athletes: clinical correlates and the effects of exercise training.
BACKGROUND Inferior lead early repolarization pattern (ERP) recently has been associated with sudden cardiac death. Although ERP is common among athletes, prevalence, ECG lead distribution, clinical characteristics, and effects of physical training remain uncertain. We sought to examine the nonanterior ERP in competitive athletes. METHODS AND RESULTS ERP was assessed in a cross-sectional coho...
متن کاملEarly Repolarization Syndrome; Mechanistic Theories and Clinical Correlates
The early repolarization (ER) pattern on the 12-lead electrocardiogram is characterized by J point elevation in the inferior and/or lateral leads. The ER pattern is associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Based on studies in animal models and genetic studies, it has been proposed that J point elevation in ER is a manifestation of augmented di...
متن کاملThe Early Repolarization Pattern: A Consensus Paper.
The term early repolarization has been in use for more than 50 years. This electrocardiographic pattern was considered benign until 2008, when it was linked to sudden cardiac arrest due to idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. Much confusion over the definition of early repolarization followed. Thus, the objective of this paper was to prepare an agreed definition to facilitate future research in...
متن کاملcharacteristics of early repolarization pattern in the iranian population
background the early repolarization pattern (erp) has been considered a normal variant in electrocardiography (ecg) for a long time. nevertheless, increasing evidence has demonstrated its association with adverse outcomes. objectives the present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of erp in the iranian general population and demonstrate its clinical and ecg correlates. methods a cross sectio...
متن کاملHeritability of early repolarization: a population-based study.
BACKGROUND Early repolarization (ER), defined by J-point elevation in 12-lead ECG, was recently associated with increased risk for idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and cardiovascular mortality. The determinants of ER are unknown. We investigated its heritability in a large, family-based cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS The study sample comprised 1877 individuals from 505 white nuclear families ...
