Early repolarization is a common finding in young, healthy individuals. It appears as mild ST segment elevation that can be diffuse; however, it is more prominent in the precordial leads. The ST ...

Romano-Ward syndrome, the most common congenital long QT disorder, often causes exertion- or stimulus-triggered syncope and ...

The association between early repolarization patterns on electrocardiograms and risk of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation reported by Haïssaguerre et al. raises questions about the generally held ...

Repolarization dispersion has been linked to echocardiographic measures of diastolic dysfunction in past research, and a recent study found it potentially indicative of pulmonary arterial hypertension ...

We evaluated the incidence of early repolarization among 1395 controls who were representative of the general population and 15 patients classified as having idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, ...

Early repolarization, which is characterized by an elevation of the QRS–ST junction (J point) in leads other than V 1 through V 3 on 12-lead electrocardiography, has been associated with vulnerability ...

Oakland, CA - Chronic ST elevation caused by early repolarization is especially prevalent in young black men engaging in vigorous exercise but has an essentially benign prognosis, according to a study ...

Prolongation of the electrocardiographic QT interval, a measure of cardiac repolarization, is associated with arrhythmogenic disorders and is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death. Two genome-wide ...

A new study reveals that the predictive power of key inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein, shifts fundamentally depending on whether a patient suffers from cirrhosis or acute/chronic ...

Pericarditis, or inflammation of the pericardium, has typical ECG findings. These findings occur in progressive stages, all of which are seen in about 50% of cases of pericarditis. Stage I (acute ...
