What is the prognostic value of electrocardiographic abnormalities (T wave negativity and QRS aberration) regarding life expectancy in patients with heart disease?
This historical cohort study from the Mayo Clinic highlights the early recognition of the prognostic value of specific electrocardiographic abnormalities, such as T wave negativity and QRS aberration, in predicting life expectancy in heart disease.

Abnormal ECG findings may refine prognosis in heart disease; extends historical observations but leaves incremental value over modern scores open.
Fredrick A. Willius (1922) conducted a cohort in Heart disease. Electrocardiography (T wave negativity and QRS aberration) was evaluated on Life expectancy and mortality. Abnormal electrocardiographic findings, particularly T wave negativity and QRS complex aberration, provide prognostic value regarding life expectancy in patients with heart disease.
