The early repolarization pattern: Echocardiographic characteristics in elite athletes
ConclusionsIn elite athletes presence of ER is not associated with distinct alterations in echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise. Athletes presenting with ER are rather male, lean with a low heart rate. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)

Variations of electrocardiographic parameters during hospitalization predict long ‐term outcomes in patients with non‐ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction
ConclusionDischarge ECG with new ‐onset PtfV1 positive and prolonged QRS duration were independent risk factors for recurrence of MACEs in NTEMI patients. The differences of ECG parameters between at admission and discharge, including P‐wave duration, number of leads with ST‐segment depression, carried long‐term prognostic information for NSTEMI patients.

Evaluation of varenicline usage on ventricular repolarization after smoking cessation
ConclusionVarenicline usage was demonstrated to prolong ventricular repolarization parameters similar to animal studies. Varenicline may have a role to predispose cardiac dysrhythmias after utilization in smoking cessation. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)

Usefulness of platelet to lymphocyte ratio for predicting recurrence of atrial fibrillation after direct current cardioversion
ConclusionElevated PLR is a marker of increased inflammation and may serve as a practical and inexpensive predictor for recurrence during 6  months of follow‐up in patients with non‐valvular persistent AF who had restoration of the sinus rhythm after successful ECV.

Can abnormal dispersion of ventricular repolarization be a predictor of mortality in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: The importance of Tp ‐e interval
ConclusionTp ‐e interval, cTp‐e interval, Tp‐e/QT ratio, and Tp‐e/QTc ratio were prolonged in patients with NC. We revealed that abnormal dispersion of ventricular repolarization suggests the increased risk of mortality in ARVC. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)

Diurnal variation of frequency domain T ‐wave alternans on 24‐hour ambulatory electrocardiogram in subjects without heart disease: Significant effect of autonomic nervous activity of the heart
ConclusionsFD ‐TWA has marked diurnal variation in the daily life of the subjects without significant structural heart disease. This variation could be more strongly affected by HR than the HRV indices. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)
