Abstract
For the prediction of cardiac death significant prognostic information can be derived from ambulatory 24-hr ECGs when they are recorded on indication in the cardiological outpatient-clinic. In both CHD and non-CHD patients, ventricular arrhythmias, supraventricular arrhythmias and conduction disturbances are all of importance in the assessment of prognosis. These conclusions are based on a review of all 123 cardiac deaths and 433 randomly selected survivors from a cohort of 5095 patients who underwent 24-hr ECG-recording on clinical indication and whose survival status was ascertained 18 months after the recording date.
