This review provides an update on recent research regarding early repolarization syndrome and its association with increased mortality.
Early repolarization (ER), also known 'J-waves' or 'J-point elevation', is an electrocardiographic abnormality consistent with elevation of the junction between the end of the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment in 2 contiguous leads.Many studies have shown that the ER ECG pattern is a sign of increased mortality.In this issue of the EP update, we have summarized the recent research related to early repolarization (ER).
