IDIOPATHIC VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION AND EARLY REPOLARIZATION SYNDROME
Abstract
Etiologic, pathogenic, and clinical aspects of the association of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation with early repolarization syndrome are considered; the strategies of assessment of patients with the early repolarization syndrome are discussed as well as the potentialities of medical and non-medical treatment.
