Sep 1, 2019 · Our review highlights that a robust association of “black race” with certain ECG patterns can be found across a wide variety of black populations, from African American military veterans to Bantu villagers. We focus on adults who are not highly-trained athletes.

Jun 30, 2021 · Six ECG patterns are found more frequently in healthy black adults than in whites. These patterns are presumably benign, but also may resemble those of malignant disease. 1) Healthy black adults show higher QRS voltage, and more often meet ECG criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

Recently, there has been recognition of a normal black athlete repolarization pattern which includes J-point elevation, convex ST-segment elevation, and T-wave inversions in leads V1 to V4 occurring in 5-15% of black athletes.

Feb 18, 2025 · In left anterior fascicular block (LAFB), impulses are conducted to the left ventricle via the posterior fascicle, producing characteristic ECG changes

Most of ECG patterns are similar in these black and white individuals; particularly repolarization features. Positive T wave in V1 lead and isolated R wave microvoltage in aVL lead are predominant in blacks whereas slurring variant of early repolarization is more frequent in whites.

Six ECG patterns are found more frequently in healthy black adults than in whites. These patterns are presumably benign, but also may resemble those of malignant disease. 1) Healthy black adults show higher QRS voltage, and more often meet …

Mar 11, 2014 · This study reports the performance of current ECG interpretation criteria in elite BAs and WAs compared with proposed “refined criteria,” which incorporate new research findings on benign ECG patterns in athletes and the effect of black ethnicity.

Feb 5, 2024 · As part of our investigation into the YBFP-associated African/Afro-Caribbean ECG pattern, we identified distinct ECG features, including TWI, left ventricular hypertrophy, first-degree atrioventricular block, and early repolarization, with a more pronounced presence in Black athletes compared to Mixed-race athletes.

Sep 1, 2019 · Our review highlights that a robust association of “black race” with certain ECG patterns can be found across a wide variety of black populations, from African American military veterans to Bantu villagers.

Jul 1, 2018 · The most recent International Consensus Criteria for ECG interpretation defined the BA ECG pattern to include J-point elevation along with convex ST-segment elevation and TWIs in V1–V4 [6]. It is important to distinguish between the BA …
