Electrocardiographic and clinical predictors separating atherosclerotic sudden cardiac death from incident coronary heart disease
EZ Soliman, RJ Prineas, LD Case, G Russell... - Heart, 2011 - Objective To identify specific ECG and clinical predictors that separate atherosclerotic sudden cardiac death (SCD) from incident coronary heart disease (CHD)(non-fatal events and non-sudden death) in the combined cohorts of the Atherosclerosis Risk in ...
Results After adjusting for common CHD risk factors, a number of clinical characteristics and ECG measurements were independently predictive of SCD and CHD. However, the risk of SCD versus incident CHD was significantly different for race/ethnicity, hypertension, body mass index (BMI), heart rate, Q Tc, abnormally inverted T wave in any ECG lead group and level of ST elevation in V2. Black race/ethnicity (compared to non-black) was predictive of high SCD risk but less risk of incident CHD (p value for differences in the risk (HR) for SCD versus CHD >
