Long-term prognostic significance of the ST level and ST slope in the 12‑lead ECG in the general population

Abstract: Background: Even minor ST depression in the electrocardiogram (ECG) is associated with cardiovascular disease and increased mortality. There is limited data on the prognostic significance of ST-level changes in the general population. Subjects and methods: A random sample of Finnish subjects (n = 6354) aged over 30 years (56.1% women) underwent a health examination including a 12-lead ECG in the Health 2000 survey. The effects of relative ST level as a continuous variable and ST slope (upsloping, horizontal, d… Show more

“…This was later confirmed. For instance, the presence of even minimal ST segment depression in healthy individuals was accompanied by an increased risk of all-cause mortality in a prospective study lasting for 13.7 and 13.9 years for males and females, respectively [32]. Nonetheless, the use of novel calculated parameter in the form of PSD in the HF channel, as it was demonstrated for the first time in the present work, or some other UHR ECG-derived markers of ischemia, could potentially provide a better IHD risk stratification in asymptomatic middle-aged individuals than the dynamics of the ST segment on C ECG.…”
