Early repolarization: High-risk features

J-point distributionLateral distribution is deemed low-risk compared with inferior and global distribution across all leads
J-wave amplitudeAmplitude ≥ 0.2 mV
ST-segment morphologyHorizontal or downsloping ST segment
QRS notchingNotching of the terminal portion of the QRS is more prevalent in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation
