Why the study?

Does asymptomatic ST segment depression during 24-hour ambulatory ECG recording predict increased mortality and myocardial infarction in elderly men?

Population

394 68-year-old men from an urban population in Malmö, Sweden, with technically satisfactory 24-hour…

Comparison

Presence of at least one episode of horizontal… vs Absence of ST segment depression ≥ 0.1 mV during…

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

43 months

Implication

May support ambulatory ECG for risk stratification in elderly men; leaves open whether interventions targeting ST depression improve outcomes.

Does asymptomatic ST segment depression during 24-hour ambulatory ECG recording predict increased mortality and myocardial infarction in elderly men?

Population

394 68-year-old men from an urban population in Malmö, Sweden, with technically satisfactory 24-hour ambulatory long-term ECG recordings.

Intervention

Presence of at least one episode of horizontal or downsloping ST segment depression ≥ 0.1 mV during 24-hour ambulatory ECG recording

Comparator

Absence of ST segment depression ≥ 0.1 mV during 24-hour ambulatory ECG recording

Outcome

Mortality and incidence of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction at 43 monthshard clinical

Asymptomatic ST segment depression on 24-hour ambulatory ECG is a frequent finding in elderly men and is associated with significantly increased cardiovascular mortality and myocardial infarction risk.
