[The clinico-electrocardiographic classification of the early ventricular repolarization syndrome]

Based on an analysis of 4980 ECGs of patients, the authors could distinguish and classify the clinico-electrocardiographic versions of the early ventricular repolarization syndrome (EVRS): permanent, occurring for the first time, suddenly disappearing, intermittent with a gigantic T wave; with a negative T wave, with a short-term T wave inversion, marked by the combination with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, and additional chordae of the left ventricle. The clinico-electrocardiographic classification of the EVRS is of paramount importance for practitioners owing to an assumption that the EVRS is not only a version of the normal ECG but also can be a marker of CHD. The authors view the EVRS as an independent version of the preexcitation syndrome along with Wolff-Parkinson-White and CLK syndromes, with the manifestations of which it may combine.
