Sudden cardiac arrest associated with early repolarization.
BACKGROUND Early repolarization is a common electrocardiographic finding that is generally considered to be benign. Its potential to cause cardiac arrhythmias has been hypothesized from experimental studies, but it is not known whether there is a clinical association with sudden cardiac arrest. METHODS We reviewed data from 206 case subjects at 22 centers who were resuscitated after cardiac a...
متن کاملAssociation of early repolarization and sudden cardiac death during an acute coronary event.
BACKGROUND Electrocardiographic early repolarization (ER) pattern has been previously associated with arrhythmic mortality and with an increased risk of ventricular fibrillation. We hypothesized that there is an association between ER and sudden cardiac death (SCD) during an acute coronary event. METHODS AND RESULTS The present study included 432 consecutive victims of SCD because of acute co...
متن کاملThe Prevalence and Significance of the Early Repolarization Pattern in Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome Families.
BACKGROUND The early repolarization (ER) pattern is associated with sudden death and has been shown to be heritable. Its significance when identified in families affected by sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed 12-lead ECGs of 401 first-degree relatives of individuals who had died from SADS. The prevalence of ER patterns was compared with fa...

Early Repolarization and Sudden Cardiac Death Due to an Acute Coronary Event Tikkanen et al propose a significant and independent association between inferior/lateral ECG early repolarization (ER) patterns and sudden cardiac death (SCD) during an acute coronary event—an observation mainly based on the inclusion of ER pattern in multivariate predictive models for the occurrence of SCD, even afte...
