UNASSIGNED: Aims. We examined the prognostic impact of eight different @entity18893 ( @entity18893 ) in the standard electrocardiogram (ECG) in a community cohort. Methods and results. Data were collected from 6299 Finnish individuals. During a mean 8.2 years (interquartile range 8.1 to 8.3) of follow-up 640 subjects died (10.2%); 277 (4.4%) were @entity65 . For both sexes, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality was higher in subjects with @entity18893 than in those without. In Cox regression analysis after adjustment for age and gender, the hazard ratio for cardiovascular mortality for non-specific @entity18893 was 4.25 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.95-9.26, P < 0.0001) and for @entity714 ( @entity714 ) 2.11 (95% CI 1.31-3.41, P = 0.002). @entity714 ( @entity714 ) was not related to additional mortality, while incomplete @entity714 (IRBBB) presented a hazard ratio of 2.24 (95% CI 1.064-4.77, P = 0.036). Conclusions. In the general population, non-specific @entity18893 , @entity714 , and IRBBB were associated with increased relative risk for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. @entity714 did not have an impact on cardiovascular mortality either in subjects with or without previous @entity299 .
