Electrocardiographic Predictors of Cardiovascular Mortality
Cardiovascular diseases are the main causes of mortality. Sudden cardiac death may also appear in athletes, due to underlying congenital or inherited cardiac abnormalities. The electrocardiogram is used in clinical practice and clinical trials, as a valid, reliable, accessible, inexpensive method. The aim of the present paper was to review electrocardiographic (ECG) signs associated with cardio...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic damage scores and cardiovascular mortality.
BACKGROUND A number of electrocardiogram (ECG) classification systems have been developed to estimate cardiac injury, infarct size, and left ventricular function. Although many studies have documented an association between clinical, imaging, and autopsy data, few have evaluated their prognostic value. METHODS AND RESULTS ECGs from 46,933 patients were analyzed using computerized measurements...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic strain pattern and prediction of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertensive patients.
The ECG strain pattern of lateral ST depression and T-wave inversion is a marker for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and adverse prognosis in population studies. However, whether ECG strain is an independent predictor of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in the setting of aggressive antihypertensive therapy is unclear. ECGs were examined at study baseline in 8854 hypertensive patie...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic Preexcitation and Risk of Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality
The Wolf–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome is a clinical entity characterized by the presence of ≥1 accessory pathways between the atria and the ventricles pre-disposing patients to arrhythmias. Anterograde conduction through the accessory pathway leads to preexcitation of the ventricles and a delta wave in the ECG. The prevalence of preexcitation in the general population has been estimated to be...
متن کاملAbnormal electrocardiographic QRS transition zone and risk of mortality in individuals free of cardiovascular disease.
AIMS We examined the prognostic significance of abnormal electrocardiographic QRS transition zone (clockwise and counterclockwise horizontal rotations) in individuals free of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 5541 adults (age 53 ± 10.4 years, 54% women, 24% non-Hispanic black, 25% Hispanic) without CVD or any major electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities from the US T...
