Early repolarization pattern associated with coronary artery disease and increased the risk of cardiac death in acute myocardium infarction

Background Early repolarization pattern (ERP) was associated with sudden cardiac death in recent studies. However, the associations between ERP and coronary artery disease (CAD), and ERP and cardiac death caused by acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear. Methods We retrospectively enrolled consecutive 1,545 CAD patients and 908 non‐CAD subjects as control group which were confirmed by coronary angiograph. The CAD patients include...
