A 41-year-old man with sudden cardiac arrest secondary to ventricular fibrillation was diagnosed with early repolarization syndrome after extensive evaluation ruled out other pathologic conditions.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights early repolarization syndrome as a potential cause of sudden cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation in otherwise healthy individuals.
A healthy 41-year-old man sustained cardiac arrest secondary to ventricular fibrillation. An extensive ischemic, structural, and genetic evaluation did not identify an attributable pathologic condition. Electrocardiograms were notable for early repolarization pattern. Here we review the diagnosis, prevalence, and prognostic significance of the early repolarization syndrome on sudden cardiac death. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
Chilazi et al. (Wed,) conducted a case report in Sudden cardiac arrest secondary to early repolarization syndrome (n=1). A 41-year-old man with sudden cardiac arrest secondary to ventricular fibrillation was diagnosed with early repolarization syndrome after extensive evaluation ruled out other pathologic conditions.
