"Benign" early repolarization versus malignant early abnormalities: clinical-electrocardiographic distinction and genetic basis.

Abstract excerpt

In the great majority of cases the ECG pattern of early repolarization (ERP) is a benign phenomenon observed predominantly in teenagers, young adults, male athletes and the black race. The universally accepted criterion for its diagnosis is the presence, in at least two adjoining leads, of ≥ 1 mm or 0.1 mV ST segment elevation. In benign ERP reciprocal ST segment changes are possible only in lead aVR. In...
