Table 1.
Class I | 1. ICD implantation is recommended in patients with a diagnosis of early repolarization syndrome who have survived a cardiac arrest. |
---|---|
Class IIa | 2. Isoproterenol infusion can be useful in suppressing electrical storms in patients with a diagnosis of early repolarization syndrome. 3. Quinidine in addition to an ICD can be useful for secondary prevention of VF in patients with a diagnosis of early repolarization syndrome. |
Class IIb | 4. ICD implantation may be considered in symptomatic family members of early repolarization syndrome patients with a history of syncope in the presence of ST segment elevation >1mm in 2 or more inferior or lateral leads. 5. ICD implantation may be considered in asymptomatic individuals who demonstrate a high-risk early repolarization ECG pattern (high J-wave amplitude, horizontal/descending ST-segment) in the presence of a strong family history of juvenile unexplained sudden death with or without a pathogenic mutation. |
Class III | 6. ICD implantation is not recommended in asymptomatic patients with an isolated early repolarization ECG pattern. |
