Prognostic value of myocardial injury-related findings onresting electrocardiography for cardiovascular risk in the asymptomatic general population: The 12-year follow-up report from the Ansan-Ansung cohort.

Conclusions: The presence of STA oranterior PQ wasassociated with worse cardiovascular outcomes in the asymptomatic general population. However, the addition of MIFs to the conventional risk estimators was of limited value in the prediction of MACEs. Key MessagesMyocardial injury-related findings including ST-T wave abnormalities and anterior pathologic Q waves in resting electrocardiography predict long-term cardiovascular outcomes in an asymptomatic low-risk population.However, ST-T wave abnormalities and anterior pathologic Q waves add only limited value to conventional cardiovascular risk estimators in the prediction of cardiovascular outcomes.
