Why the study?
MACE are common in hypertensive patients and linked to higher mortality, prompting investigation into MACE incidence and the correlation between ECG T-wave abnormalities and echocardiographic changes.
Do electrocardiographic T-wave abnormalities predict adverse cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients?
Population

Abnormal T-waves may flag higher event risk in hypertension; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Do electrocardiographic T-wave abnormalities predict adverse cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients?
In hypertensive patients, ECG T-wave abnormalities are associated with a higher incidence of adverse cardiovascular events and worse cardiac structural markers, though not with overall survival.
Liu et al. (2023) studied this question.
