description

From 1980 to 1990 the authors performed an epidemiological cohort study in order to explore the predictive power of computer electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements for individual risk assessment of future myocardial infarct in combination with commonly known risk factors. Out of 7542 participants, 83 experienced a myocardial infarct during the course of the study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that vector cardiogram (VCG) measurements provide significant additional information to risk estimation which is equivalent to that of other risk factors. Measurement changes are stronger risk indicators than single measurements. The results confirm previous findings from H.V. Pipberger et al. (1986). >
