An early repolarization (ER) pattern is a risk factor for ventricular fibrillation (VF) in certain diseases. However, it is unclear whether this association holds for patients with vasospastic angina (VSA). Moreover, the reported long-term follow-up of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy for VSA patients is limited to 3 years. This study aimed to clarify the relation between ER and VF in patients with VSA and to investigate the long-term outcomes of ICD therapy.
