To examine gender differences in rate-corrected QT interval (QTc), an index of ventricular depolarization/repolarization, in young, trained men and women with lower ...

Young, trained athletes may have abnormal 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) without evidence of structural cardiac disease. Whether such ECG patterns represent the initial expression of underlying ...

Early repolarization, which is characterized by an elevation of the QRS–ST junction (J point) in leads other than V 1 through V 3 on 12-lead electrocardiography, has been associated with vulnerability ...

Oakland, CA - Chronic ST elevation caused by early repolarization is especially prevalent in young black men engaging in vigorous exercise but has an essentially benign prognosis, according to a study ...

Early repolarization is a common finding in young, healthy individuals. It appears as mild ST segment elevation that can be diffuse; however, it is more prominent in the precordial leads. The ST ...

Epidemiologic evidence indicates that air pollution adversely affects the cardiovascular system, leading to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the mechanisms of such an ...

Implantable defibrillators can save lives, but also harbor risks. A major study has found that a special ECG method can help to identify the patients most likely to benefit from these devices.
