The prevalence of electrocardiographic early repolarisation in an adult cohort with chronic kidney disease and its impact upon all-cause mortality and progression to dialysis

The prevalence of electrocardiographic early repolarisation in an adult cohort with chronic kidney disease and its impact upon all-cause mortality and progression to dialysis

BackgroundElectrocardiographic early repolarisation (ER) occurring in <5% of general/atherosclerotic populations, is a marker of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The prevalence of ER in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, in whom SCD is common, is unknown. We aimed to determine the prevalence,...
