Why the study?
It was unknown whether combining several ECG abnormalities would identify general population subjects with a high risk of sudden cardiac death.
Does an ECG risk score predict sudden cardiac death in a general population?
Does an ECG risk score predict sudden cardiac death in a general population?
An ECG risk score combining five common abnormalities strongly predicts sudden cardiac death in the general population.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ECG abnormalities flag high SCD risk in general populations; hypothesis-generating for targeted prevention pending prospective trials.
