Relation of Minor Electrocardiographic Abnormalities to Cardiovascular Mortality
2019, American Journal of CardiologyLow diastolic blood pressure was one of the independent predictors of ischemia-like findings of electrocardiogram in patients who underwent coronary angiography
2013, Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Cardiac positron emission tomography [8] or magnetic resonance imaging [9] can reveal subendocardial ischemia, but the widespread use of these tests in a clinical setting is difficult due to their high costs. Meanwhile, other epidemiological studies have shown that abnormal findings in resting electrocardiograms (ECGs), such as Q wave, deviation of ST portion, or abnormalities of T wave, also predict cardiovascular events, even if the findings are mild [10–18]. Generally, these findings of ECG suggest myocardial ischemia, although some conditions other than ischemia [e.g. left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), postural changes, meals, drugs, electrolyte disorders, and metabolic disorders] could affect ECG [19].
The Moli-sani project: Computerized ECG database in a population-based cohort study
2012, Journal of ElectrocardiologyCitation Excerpt :Resting electrocardiogram (ECG) carries important independent prognostic information for future cardiac events.1,2 The presence of ECG-revealed ischemia, abnormal Q/QS patterns, or ST-T abnormalities is an index of doubled risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)3,4 and death5–7 and has a prognostic value for CVD more powerful than that derived from established conventional risk factors.8 However, performing ECG in population-based studies may lead to enormous numbers of tracings to be interpreted.
Preoperative Evaluation of the Surgical Patient
2012, Dental Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :If the results of the laboratory investigation will make no difference, then it should not be performed. Second, whether the disease is prevalent in the patient population should be determined, and then the laboratory investigation may be considered a screening tool, such as an echocardiogram in the elderly to screen for ischemic heart disease.11–13 Otherwise, laboratory investigations should answer the same basic questions for which consultations are sought: (1) is the patient in optimal condition, (2) does the patient have reversible disease, and (3) where is the patient in the continuum of disease.
