The Phenomenon of Early Repolarization

The phenomenon of early repolarization: a false alarm?

characteristics 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...

Early 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...

Electrocardiographic Early Repolarization

1520 The early repolarization (ER) pattern (ERP), initially described as elevation of the ST segment of ≥1 leads on the 12-lead ECG, has long been considered a benign phenomenon. However, more recent studies have demonstrated positive, negative, and neutral associations between an ERP and various end points, including all-cause, cardiac, and arrhythmic mortality. These recent studies have used ...
