In this issue of the journal, Shoji et al showed that isolated non-specific ST-segment and T-wave abnormalities (NSSTTAs) are associated with incident heart failure (HF).1 The authors conducted a ...

In this review, the authors discuss the role of ECG in prediction of stroke. ECG plays an important role in detection of several stroke risk factors/predictors including atrial fibrillation and left ...

How often do you see an ECG that is just a little off? Maybe the T wave is flat, oddly-shaped or inverted. Maybe the ST segment is coved, very minimally-depressed or shows some J point elevation.

Sometimes, an abnormal EKG reading is a normal variation in a person’s heart rhythm. In other cases, it may be due to an underlying heart condition or a reaction to medication. An electrocardiogram ...

More than half of participants in the GRADE trial had ECG abnormalities (57.1%) and ECG-defined cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (52.8%) at baseline. The presence of these abnormalities was ...

Background In athletes, ECG changes from physiological cardiac remodelling are common but can overlap with findings from a pathological disorder. We compared ECG findings in a group of elite high ...

The ST segment is the portion of the ECG from the end of the QRS complex to the beginning of the T wave. The ST segment normally remains isoelectric, thus ST segment depression or ST segment elevation ...
