Key result
Among Russian adults aged 50-64, men had a higher prevalence of Q-waves (5.0% vs 1.9%) but a lower prevalence of ST segment depression and T wave abnormalities than women (5.1% vs 6.9%, P<0.001).
Cross-Sectional (n=8,334)
Yes
Absolute Event Rate: 5.1% vs 6.9%
p-value: p=<0.001
Ischemic ECG abnormalities are prevalent among older adults in the Russian Federation, with distinct gender differences in the types of abnormalities observed.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Gender differences in ischemic ECG changes among middle-aged Russians should not change practice; leaves open prognostic value and need for outcome studies.
Муромцева et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in ECG ischemic disorders (n=8,334). Male gender vs. Female gender was evaluated on ST segment depression and T wave abnormalities (myocardial ischemia) (p=<0.001). Among Russian adults aged 50-64, men had a higher prevalence of Q-waves (5.0% vs 1.9%) but a lower prevalence of ST segment depression and T wave abnormalities than women (5.1% vs 6.9%, P<0.001).
