Early repolarization on ECG

Hi all, PPL here, class 3 medical (Canada). Anybody have experience with early repolarization discovered on ECG? From what I can gather it is a "normal variation" but some researchers think it can indicate increased risk. It's most common on young athletic males. Well I'm 53 yrs young, but am fairly athletic, regularly ride centuries (100 miles/160 km in a day) on my road bike at average 25 km/h (and faster on shorter rides), do 10 km hikes in the mountains in winter, etc.

Just wondering if this will be an obstacle to renewing my medical... thanks


Edit: self-answering question, my AME renewed my medical last night. Took one look at the ECG and said "it won't be a problem".
