Prognostic implications of quantitative ST-segment characteristics and T-wave amplitude for cardiovascular mortality in a general population from the Health 2000 Survey

Abstract: Quantitative ST-segment depression, regardless of the measurement point, allows prediction of cardiovascular death in women within a general population. However, the effect disappears as those with LVH are excluded. This observation highlights the need for consideration of LVH when depressed ST segments are clinically observed.

“…The relative risk for cardiovascular mortality was slightly higher for women than for men, while the opposite was true for CHD mortality. In a former study of the Health 2000 population, the negative prognostic impact of inverted lateral T waves (as a continuous parameter) on cardiovascular mortality was seen only among women (Anttila et al., 2010).…”

“…A downsloping ST segment with asymmetric T‐wave inversion in the lateral leads, the “strain pattern,” is a marker of anatomical left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and is associated with increased left ventricular mass and mortality (Inoue et al., 2017). Lower T‐wave level as a continuous variable was associated with cardiovascular mortality in women in an earlier study of the Health 2000 population, but this was seen only in the lateral lead group (I, aVL, and V5‐V6) (Anttila et al., 2010).…”

“…All analyses were done separately for men and women because of the previously described gender differences related to the relative ST segment and the T wave in the 12-lead ECG [11]. We also wanted to study gender-specific differences in different lead groups and measurement points.…”

“…The prognostic value of ST changes is dependent of the location of the changes within the 12-lead ECG [8,11]. Nevertheless, many authors did not specify the location of ST changes in their analyses.…”
