What is Ventricular arrhythmias during 24‐h ambulatory ECG recording: incidence, risk factors and prognosis in men with and without a history of cardiovascular disease about?

Abstract. Engström G, Hedblad B, Janzon L, Juul‐Möller S (Malmö University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden). Ventricular arrhythmias during 24‐h ambulatory ECG recording: incidence, risk factors and prognosis in men with and without a history of cardiovascular disease. __J Intern Med__ 1999; 246: 363–372. Objective. To study incidence, prognosis and risk factors of ventricular arrhythmias in men with and without asymptomatic non‐invasively detected cardiovascular disease (CVD). Design. Prospective cohort study with 11 years’ follow‐up. The subjects went through 24‐h ambulatory electrocardiographic (ECG) registrations and non‐invasive examinations of leg and carotid arteries at the baseline examination. Setting. Malmö, Sweden. Subjects. Four hundred and forty‐three randomly selected 68‐year‐old men. Main outcome measures. Mortality and cardiac event rates during an 11‐year period. Results. Frequent or complex arrhythmias (Lown class 2–5) were common in men both with and without CVD. However, the associated prognoses were different. In men with CVD, frequent or complex arrhythmias were associated with increased cardiac event rates (__P__ = 0.001) and increased mortality (__P__ = 0.054). This
