AbstractA previously healthy, active duty 37-year-old male experienced recurrent cardiac arrests because of ventricular fibrillation and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Initial evaluation did not reveal a clear ischemic, structural, toxic, or metabolic cause. Close monitoring of telemetry before his third cardiac arrest revealed the cause to be early repolarization syndrome (ERS). In this case, we review the diagnosis, epidemiology, and prognostic significance of early repolarization pattern as it relates to ERS. We also discuss acute and long-term treatment strategies for patients with ERS.Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2023.
