PURPOSE: We compared the characteristics and outcomes of patients with "early repolarization" electrocardiograms (ECGs) with those who had normal ECGs.METHODS: In 1983 to 1985, we collected photocopies of 2234 selected ECGs from 73,088 patients undergoing health examinations. Excluding 153 ECGs with missing data or that were judged to be abnormal, the remaining ECGs were reinterpreted in 2000 by cardiologists as showing early repolarization (n = 670), or being borderline (n = 330) or normal (n = 1081). Characteristics and outcomes of persons with early repolarization ECGs were compared with those who had normal ECGs using analysis of variance, logistic regression, or proportional hazards models. Information on exercise was available in 325 patients.RESULTS: Patients with early repolarization were more likely to be male (81% [n = 583] vs. 33% [n = 360]),
