May aid mortality risk stratification in male veterans with CVD; leaves open incremental value and generalizability in prospective studies.
Does T-wave residuum on 12-lead ECG predict long-term mortality in male US veterans with cardiovascular disease?
The heterogeneity of myocardial repolarization, measured by the T-wave residuum on a standard 12-lead ECG, independently predicts long-term mortality in male patients with cardiovascular disease.
Zabel et al. (2002) studied this question.
