Benign Early Repolarisation • LITFL • ECG Library Diagnosis
2024年10月8日 · Benign early repolarisation (BER) is a usually benign ECG pattern producing widespread ST segment elevation that is commonly seen in young, healthy patients < 50 years of age. Also known as “high take-off” or “J-point elevation”, it may mimic pericarditis or acute MI.
Early Repolarization Syndrome - Cardiovascular Disorders
Early repolarization syndrome is a genetic disorder of cardiomyocyte ion channel function (channelopathy). Patients are predisposed to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). Diagnosis is by ECG. Some patients require an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
Early repolarization syndrome: A cause of sudden cardiac death
Early repolarization syndrome (ERS), demonstrated as J-point elevation on an electrocardiograph, was formerly thought to be a benign entity, but the recent studies have demonstrated that it can be linked to a considerable risk of life - threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD).
Early repolarization - UpToDate
2024年11月19日 · The term early repolarization (ER), also known as "J waves" or "J-point elevation," has long been used to characterize a QRS-T variant on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Most literature defines ER as being present on the ECG when there is J-point elevation of ≥0.1 mV in two adjacent leads with either a slurred or notched morphology.
Early Repolarization Syndrome - American College of Cardiology
2016年5月16日 · ER has historically been considered a normal variant, but it is becoming more evident through numerous case controls and population based studies that it is associated with an increased incidence of arrhythmic sudden cardiac arrest.
Does early repolarization on ECG increase the risk of cardiac …
2019年3月1日 · The early repolarization pattern is nearly always a benign incidental finding on ECG, with no specific signs or symptoms attributed to it. High-risk features on ECG are associated with a modest increase in absolute risk of sudden cardiac death and …
Early Repolarization Syndrome: Electrocardiographic Signs and …
Early repolarization syndrome (ERS) was previously considered as a benign variant, but it has recently emerged as a risk marker for idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) and sudden death. As measured by electrocardiogram (ECG), early ...
Early Repolarization - Cedars-Sinai
When the electrical system of the heart does not operate as it is supposed to, early repolarization (ERP) can develop. ERP can be seen on an electrocardiogram (EKG). This painless procedure provides a picture of the electrical activity of the heart and how the heart is working.
Early Repolarization Syndrome: Diagnostic and Therapeutic …
2018年11月26日 · In early repolarization syndrome patients, current imbalances between epi- and endo-cardial layers result in a dispersion of de- and repolarization. These imbalances manifest as J wave or ST segment elevation on the surface ECG.
Early repolarization syndrome - Cardiology Outlines
Type of ST-segment elevation is present in healthy individuals – early repolarization, called J-point elevation. It is distinguished by the fact that the T wave does not merge with the ST segment and remains an independent wave.
