As has been well established, the resting Electrocardiogram (ECG) findings provide valuable diagnostic and prognostic information for the occurrence of Cardiovascular Events (CVEs), independent of traditional risk factors
As we know, prolonged QTC interval predisposes to malignant Ventricular Arrhythmias (VT) and Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) [6,7]; different results have been reported in various studies regarding its association with Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) or mortality [8,9,10]
The purpose of this study is to explore the association of PR and QTC interval prolongation with CVEs and mortality in adults who participated in the Isfahan Cohort Study (ICS)
Summary
As has been well established, the resting Electrocardiogram (ECG) findings provide valuable diagnostic and prognostic information for the occurrence of Cardiovascular Events (CVEs), independent of traditional risk factors. Abnormal QRS complex and ST-T segment changes are the most common finding that predictive Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and mortality [1,2,3]. As we know, prolonged QTC interval (genetically or acquired) predisposes to malignant Ventricular Arrhythmias (VT) and Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) [6,7]; different results have been reported in various studies regarding its association with CVD or mortality [8,9,10]. Some studies reported the differences by communities and race/ethnic in the prevalence of numerous ECG findings [11,12]. The purpose of this study is to explore the association of PR and QTC interval prolongation with CVEs and mortality in adults who participated in the Isfahan Cohort Study (ICS)
