'''2008''' Dr. Haïssaguerre et al. study ECGs from patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and find that patients with early repolarization on their ECG (elevation of the QRS-ST junction of at least 0.1 mV from baseline, which is usually considered a benign finding) is associated with a doubled risk of ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) shock during follow up. <cite>Haiss</cite> | '''2008''' Dr. Haïssaguerre et al. study ECGs from patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and find that patients with early repolarization on their ECG (elevation of the QRS-ST junction of at least 0.1 mV from baseline, which is usually considered a benign finding) is associated with a doubled risk of ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) shock during follow up. <cite>Haiss</cite> | ||
'''2010''' Dr. Sinner et al. studied ECGs in the general population. 13.1% of these had an early repolarization pattern, which was associated with a 2-5 fold risk of sudden death among individuals between 35 and 54 years of age. <cite>Sinner</cite> | |||
