I'm currently in the midst of preparing for my cardiology exams and this video helped a lot in clarifying the specifics of a benign early repolarization. Cheers!
3 doctors were shocked after seeing my st elevations. My h beats climbed to 120 after seeing their body language of stress. But in midst of my last testing tonight after midnight, I googled "st elevation without symptoms" and BER showed up. Fortunately this young forth doctor was smart enough to diagnose BER. Thank God. I imagined death today. I'm 31, male, totally healthy. No smoke no alchohol.
@@graememcauslan7023 very common in teenagers. Was told most children who participate in sports will have BER if there is "st elevation" on their ECG. I'm 27 and have had BER on every ECG for the last 17 years
@@agentbobbarkerifyI’m here because a 16 year old athlete that I know had this today. Mom wants a referral to cardiology. I think parents should advocate for further evaluation even with benign asymptomatic findings.
Thanks for checking out the video and for the kind words! Let us know if there are any other educational videos that you would like us to put together!
So glad to hear that! If interested, we have a handful of additional ECG videos in the playlist linked below! th-cam.com/play/PLf5bMa9_tvRh2JoODgpLapjGDYXSW1q0h.html
i have this syndrome, luckily all the signs that indicate a possible increase in unexplained ideopathic v-fib are not present. i am very active and in my early 30's. in leads v4, v5, and v6 the J notch is clearly the fish hook pattern with the upward sloping t wave (downward sloping is higher risk). in leads 2, 3 and aVF i have slurred R waves on the down slope towards the bottom. I have had this for at least 7 years from the time i took my own EKG, but recently when i started back on Adderall and dropped off two copies of my 12 leads (1 taken on adderall, and one taken not on adderall) which showed no change from my norm. my psychologist is now requiring me to see a cardiologist before resuming my medication prescription refills. every thing i have read about this pretty much says a 12 lead with absent signs and symptoms and no medical concerns does not warrant further testing. sorry about the lengthy comment. i can't find anything saying adderall would be contraindicated with this abnormal ekg finding. and now it will probably take weeks, maybe even longer to get in to see a specialist.
I dont get the concavity part. I have looked at 10 STEMIs and 9 of them have the concave pattern. Only STEMIs I can find that are convex are the tombstone ones, as you mentioned, shark fin and lambda sign STEMIs. I guess I should focus on the 5 step check list, and not just focus on concavity.
hello, i am healthy 23 female, but these changes were shown in lead II, III and aVF. i am very symptomatic and get lots of chest pain, but my doctor doesn't seem worried?
Hey! We are in the same boat. Same age, male and also got some changes in the inferior leads yet they told me it was a normal pattern and not to worry about it. I also get chest pain every now and then, but I believe it mostly comes from anxiety. I'm not sure if you're going through some stressful moments in your life but that could be the reason also!
I had a borderline repolarization at first it went away then acouple wks I had really bad chest pain went to the hospital and got a EKG which said i have T wave inversion now evident in inferior leads and and a nonspecific T wav abnormalty noŵ evident in inferior leads. Im following up with my doctor but am still have axiety it means something bad.
Thanks for checking out the video! Benign Early Repolarization (or BER) is just an electrical phenomenon seen on EKG that is benign and a normal variant. The patient will not have any symptoms related to it. It can look similar and can be mistaken for more severe pathologies like pericarditis or a heart attack. Let us know if that makes sense and/or what additional questions you may have!
@@WhiteboardMedicine 😊 thank you so much. I had massive chest pain at work last Thursday morning and was taken to hospital by ambulance. Part of the diagnosis is BER; I have a stress ECG this coming Wednesday. The pain hasn’t been explained yet. I have also recently been diagnosed with having GORD...it could have been that, however intense exercise seems to be a little problematic these days. Oh, and my gastro thinks I also have EOE. We’ll see; but strange when most of my life I’ve been healthy, apart from the last 2 years I’ve put on 8kg and recently returned to training. Unfortunately most of this year I’ve had extreme insomnia...5-5:30hrs sleep a night; the basis I think is GORD, but it’s all slowly being sorted out...male, 46, 178cm, 82kg...if any of those stats have any influence.
@@truthteller3024 thanks for asking. The cardiologist said I have an extremely strong heart but I needed to improve my sleep. We bought a better bed, I took a mild sleeping pill for a while and got back into weight training and bootcamps. Never been better 😁.
This is most typically a benign condition that does not require treatment, but as always make sure to discuss all things with your doctor as the channel isn't intended to be medical advice
so what are the chances of this turning in a cardiac arrest?? I’ve recently discovered I have a cardiac arrest phobia & I’ve had early repolarization since 2016 when I got my first EKG done for a panic attack.. my EKGs look exactly the same as they did then.. I just can’t seem to shake this fear 😢
Interestingly, in 2017 I had a panic attack, when I was 17 years old, and I recently discovered that I have this ER pattern, during routine exams. How old are you?
