Does Early Repolarization Affect the Risk of Death and Ventricular Arrhythmias?

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Early repolarization (ER) pattern, defined as J-point elevation of ≥1 mm in ≥2 contiguous inferior and/or lateral electrocardiography (ECG) leads, is a common finding, with a prevalence of approximately 6% in the adult population., ER has long been considered a benign phenomenon, as most affected individuals — typically young males and athletes — have a very low incidence of sudden cardiac death., However, a pivotal study by Haïssaguerre et al. demonstrated a significantly higher occurrence of ER (31%) in patients [...]
