title: Subtle ECG changes--a mortality risk?
abstract: Population studies have consistently reported the increased risk of coronary heart disease mortality and sudden death in subjects with resting electrocardiogram evidence of unambiguous ST depression or T wave abnormalities. However, more subtle variations in normal electrocardiographic findings may also provide predictive and prognostic information. This case study illustrates the potential risk selection implications of such changes.
