P5645Lifetime sex-specific sudden cardiac death prediction using ECG global electrical heterogeneity: the atherosclerosis risk in communities (ARIC) study

Background Sex-based differences in sudden cardiac death (SCD) exist and screening methods for SCD are inadequate. Purpose To develop sex-specific lifetime risk prediction models using electrocardiographic (ECG) global electrical heterogeneity (GEH) and clinical characteristics. Methods Participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study with analyzable ECGs (n=14,725; age, 54.2±5.8 yrs; 55% female, 74% white) were followed up for...
