Predictive Value of ECG Ischemic Pattern Changes for the 10-Year Occurrence of Ischemic Heart Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The long-term prognostic value of resting electrocardiogram (ECG) in the prediction of ischemic heart disease (IHD) incidence and mortality in the asymptomatic middle-aged population is not well characterized. This study was designed to assess the prognostic value of major and minor ischemic changes in ECG as a potential screening tool in healthy adults.

Methods

A total of 9035 middle-aged subjects with available ECGs were recruited. ECG ischemia was classified using the Minnesota Coding system. All the participants were followed up regarding the occurrence of IHD over 10 years. A cardiologist confirmed IHD, and additional tests were performed if indicated. Multiple logistic regression was applied to estimate the odds of ischemic changes in ECG to predict the occu
