A recent study conducted at Aalborg University Hospital in Denmark investigated the prevalence of electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities and their association with cardiovascular mortality in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). The study found that AAV patients had a higher prevalence of major ECG abnormalities compared to controls, and these abnormalities were associated with a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. The researchers recommend including ECG assessment as part of routine clinical care for AAV patients. This information is important for individuals conducting research on cardiovascular diseases and conditions, particularly vasculitis. [Extracted from the article]
