In this community cohort of 10,864 middle-age Finnish residents, early repolarization (J-point elevation) was present on 6% of EKGs. J-point elevation of 0.1mV and 0.2mV in the inferior leads was significantly associated with cardiac death (ARR 1.28 and 2.98, respectively). Inferior J-point elevation is a risk factor for cardiac death (abstract).
