Abstract Background: The early ECG repolarization QRS pattern (ERp), with J-point elevation of 0.1 mV in
two contiguous inferior and/or lateral leads, can be associated with ventricular arrhythmias among
adults. The significance of an ERp in the young is unknown.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of ERp among young patients
(pts), describe and correlate the characteristics with clinical presentations and any arrhythmias.
Methods: This was a 1 y retrospective review of ECGs obtained from patients referred specifically
for documented arrhythmias, possible arrhythmia-related symptoms or sports clearance. ECGs
were analyzed for ERp (J-point, ascending/horizontal patterns, location)… More >
