Premature ventricular beats initiate recurrent ventricular fibrillation in early repolarization syndrome

Premature ventricular beats initiate recurrent ventricular fibrillation in early repolarization syndrome

An early repolarization (ER) pattern on electrocardiography was historically considered a benign finding; however, this finding in the inferior and lateral leads has recently been associated with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF). Here we describe a case of a 29-year-old man with an ER patter...
