The study by Stavrakis S et al. “Development and Validation of a Prognostic Index for Risk Stratification of Patients with Early Repolarization”1 proposes a risk stratification model for patients with early repolarization (defined as J-point elevation ≥0.1 mV in inferior/lateral leads). Their model, including the parameters older age, lower body mass index, non-African American race, current use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers or sulfonylureas, prolonged corrected QT, and higher ER amplitude, revealed good calibration and discrimination for the prediction of all-cause mortality. Their study deserves some additional considerations:
