Prevalence of Early Repolarization Pattern in Patients with Lone Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to test the association of early repolarization pattern (ER) with lone atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Electrocardiograms (ECGs) were analyzed in blinded fashion in a case–control study of 182 patients with lone AF and 182 controls without AF. Re...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract Background The objective of this study was to test the association of early repolarization pattern (ER) with lone atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Electrocardiograms (ECGs) were analyzed in blinded fashion in a case–control study of 182 patients with lone AF and 182 controls without AF. Results Patients with lone AF and controls had similar frequencies of ER pattern (15% vs 19%, p = 0.40). In patients
