Table 1.

Patient demographics and ECG parameters based on category of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the Cedars-Sinai Health System validation population. All ECG parameters differed significantly between subjects with LVEF ≤35% and those with LVEF >35%.

Data are presented as n (%) or mean ±SD.

Validation population: n=9742 inpatients and outpatients from the Cedars-Sinai hospital system with LVEF assessed by echocardiogram from Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, 2015 and ECG available within 14 days of the echocardiogram. Conventional ECG abnormalities evaluated in n=9674 patients without acute MI; Expanded panel of ECG abnormalities evaluated in n=7601 patients without conventional abnormalities (ECGs in sinus rhythm and without LBBB).
