Abstract

In this article, we report the case of a 61-year-old man who presented a cardiac arrest which has been resuscitated successfully. An early repolarization syndrome has been diagnosed by the ECG recorded the first 3 days after admission. This abnormality disappeared after that. The patient received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. Practical messages to the clinician concerning early repolarization are provided in this article.
