Course Description
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force solicited this systematic review to inform the update of its recommendations on screening asymptomatic adults for cardiovascular disease with resting or exercise electrocardiography (ECG). Included studies showed that some abnormalities on resting or exercise ECG were independent predictors of future cardiovascular events. However, no study compared clinical outcomes or use of risk-reducing therapies in individuals who did and did not receive screening ECGs, and no study assessed whether ECG findings classified patients into meaningful risk groups better than traditional risk factor assessment alone.
