Frequency of Electrocardiographic Abnormalities in Patients With Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with cardiovascular disease, for example, myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiovascular death, and arrhythmias. The resting electrocardiogram may carry prognostic information, but limited evidence is available of electrocardiographic findings in subjects with psoriasis. The electrocardiographic results were compared between 1,131 subjects with self-reported psoriasis and 18,397 controls participating in the Danish General Suburban Population Study (GESUS).

Prognostic Usefulness of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy by Electrocardiography in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (from the Randomized Evaluation of Long-Term Anticoagulant Therapy Study)
It is unknown whether left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) diagnosis by electrocardiography improves risk stratification in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated the prognostic impact of LVH diagnosis by electrocardiography in a large sample of anticoagulated patients with AF included in the Randomized Evaluation of Long-Term Anticoagulant Therapy (RE-LY) Study. We defined electrographic LVH (ECG-LVH) by strain pattern or Cornell voltage (R wave in aVL plus S wave in V3)>2.0 mV (women) or>2.4 mV (men). LVH prevalence was 22.7%. During a median follow-up of 2.0 years, 303 patients developed a stroke, 778 d...
