Investigative Electrocardiography in Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Trials reviews the prevalence and incidence and emphasizes the prognostic implications of common ECG abnormalities in contrasting populations.

Investigative Electrocardiography in Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Trials provides a comprehensive, penetrating, and critical analysis of topics such as QT prolongation in clinical drug trials, left ventricular hypertrophy, and epidemiological consideration of relative risks associated with ECG abnormalities.

As such, it is an essential tool in epidemiological or clinical research usign ECGs and in investigations of possible adverse responses of new pharmacological agents.
