Key result
ECG early repolarization pattern shows no link to all-cause or CV mortality in Han-Chinese adults.
Why the study?
Is electrocardiographic early repolarization pattern associated with all-cause or cardiovascular mortality in a community-based middle-aged and geriatric ambulatory population?
Is electrocardiographic early repolarization pattern associated with all-cause or cardiovascular mortality in a community-based middle-aged and geriatric ambulatory population?
In a community-based middle-aged and geriatric Han-Chinese population, the presence of an early repolarization pattern on ECG was not associated with increased all-cause or cardiovascular mortality.
Reassures against excess mortality risk from early repolarization in this ambulatory cohort; leaves generalizability to other populations open.
<0.05). However, ERP alone was not associated with all-cause or cardiovascular mortality. These findings show that ERP is common in the middle-aged and geriatric Han-Chinese individuals from the HALST cohort and is not associated with all-cause or cardiovascular mortality.
