Racial Differences in Electrocardiographic Characteristics and Prognostic Significance in Whites Versus Asians

Racial Differences in Electrocardiographic Characteristics and Prognostic Significance in Whites Versus Asians

Background Racial differences in electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics and prognostic significance among Whites and Asians are not well described. Methods and Results We studied 2677 White Framingham Heart Study participants (57% women) and 2972 Asian (64% women) Singapore Longitudinal Aging St...

Zusammenfassung:Background Racial differences in electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics and prognostic significance among Whites and Asians are not well described. Methods and Results We studied 2677 White Framingham Heart Study participants (57% women) and 2972 Asian (64% women) Singapore Longitudinal Aging Study participants (mean age 66 years in both) free of myocardial infarction or heart failure. Racial differences in ECG characteristics and effect on mortality were assessed. In linear regression models, PR interval was longer in Asians compared with Whites (multivariable‐adjusted β±SE 5.0±1.4 ms in men and 6.6±0.9 ms in women, both P
