To assess whether major and minor baseline electrocardiographic abnormalities independently predict cardiovascular events and mortality in asymptomatic postmenopausal women.
Randomized trial registered under clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT00000611 evaluating cardiovascular outcomes in asymptomatic women.
Baseline electrocardiograms were classified for the presence of major and minor abnormalities and tracked prospectively for incident cardiovascular disease and mortality.
Both major and minor baseline electrocardiographic abnormalities significantly correlated with elevated incidences of coronary heart disease events and cardiovascular death.
Electrocardiographic changes provided strong independent prognostic value for risk stratification even among women presenting without prior clinical cardiovascular symptoms.
