The Role of Holter Monitoring in the Diagnosis of Early Repolarisation Pattern.

Background: A slower heart rate can exaggerate J-point elevation in a 12-lead ECG. This study examined the role of Holter monitoring in the diagnosis of early repolarisation pattern (ERP).

Methods: We examined 24-hour Holter recordings of 4000 consecutive patients seen at an outpatient clinic, and found 500 patients (12.

The Role of the Ratio of J-Point Elevation Magnitude and R-Wave Amplitude on the Same ECG Lead in the Risk Stratification of Subjects With Early Repolarization Pattern.

Background: Just as high-risk populations for cardiac arrest exist in patients with Brugada syndrome or long QT syndrome, high-risk and low-risk populations for cardiac arrest also exist in patients with early repolarization pattern (ERP).

Hypothesis: Electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics can aid the risk stratification of patients with ERP.

Methods: Electrocardiographic parameters such as magnitude of J-point elevation and J/R ratio were measured.
