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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Young, trained athletes may have abnormal 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) without evidence of structural cardiac disease. Whether such ECG patterns represent the initial expression of underlying ...

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 ...

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 ...
