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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The prevalence of early repolarization pattern among 35- to 54-year-olds is higher than previously thought, and has a clear link to an increased risk of cardiac death, especially among men, according ...

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 ...

Ventricular repolarization (VR) is a crucial step in cardiac electrical activity because it corresponds to a recovery period setting the stage for the next heart contraction. Small perturbations of ...

Acute myocardial infarction resulting from an occlusive thrombus is recognized on an electrocardiogram by ST-segment elevation. 1 Early reperfusion therapy has proved beneficial in such infarctions. 2 ...

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 ...
