ECG abnormalities were defined by the Minnesota Code ECG classification as major, minor, or no abnormality.

In multivariable Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for demographics and potential confounders, the presence of any major ECG abnormalities as a time-varying covariate was associated with a more than twofold increased risk of CVD events (hazard ratio [HR] 2.10 [95% CI 1.26, 3.48] vs. no abnormality\/normal ECG, and 2.19 [1.46, 3.29] vs. no major abnormality). Also, each visit (year) at which the diagnosis of major ECG abnormality was retained was associated with a 30% increased risk of CVD (HR 1.30 [95% CI 1.14, 1.48]).
