Early repolarization pattern and syndrome — norm or pathology?

Abstract

The review article is devoted to the diagnosis and clinical significance of early ventricular repolarization phenomenon and syndrome. Just 13 years ago, the phenomenon was recognized as an unambiguous version of the norm. However, the results of a series of multicenter studies have shown that the phenomenon is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. The following criteria are recognized as criteria for early repolarization: the presence of a notch or a junction wave on the descending part of the R wave with a concomitant (or absent) elevation of the ST segment (at the Jt point); J wave (point) ≥0.1mV peak elevation (at Jp point) in ≥2 adjacent 12-channel ECG leads, except for V1–3 leads; QRS duration, measured in leads with J wave (point) <120 ms. Early repolarization syndrome is a clinical condition involving a combination of the pattern of early repolarization and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and/or sudden cardiac death in persons without structural heart disease. Treatment is required in patients with a symptom of ventricular tacharrhythmia or family history early repolarization with sudden cardiac death.
