Key result
In a general Indo-Asian population, microalbuminuria was independently associated with major electrocardiographic changes (OR 1.50; 95% CI 1.10-2.00).
Why the study?
Is microalbuminuria associated with major electrocardiographic changes in a general Indo-Asian population?
Cross-Sectional (n=3,143)
No
Is microalbuminuria associated with major electrocardiographic changes in a general Indo-Asian population?
Odds Ratio: 1.5 (95% CI 1.1–2)
Microalbuminuria is strongly associated with major ECG abnormalities in an Indo-Asian population, highlighting its potential utility as a screening tool for underlying cardiovascular disease.

Should not yet change screening practices; hypothesis-generating for microalbuminuria as CVD marker in Indo-Asians.
Jafar et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in General population (n=3,143). Microalbuminuria (MA) vs. Absence of microalbuminuria was evaluated on Major electrocardiographic (ECG) changes (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.10-2.00). In a general Indo-Asian population, microalbuminuria was independently associated with major electrocardiographic changes (OR 1.50; 95% CI 1.10-2.00).
