Popis: Objectives We hypothesised that (1) the prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with global electrical heterogeneity (GEH) after adjustment for demographic, anthropometric, socioeconomic and traditional cardiovascular risk factors, (2) there are sex differences in GEH and (3) sex modifies an association of prevalent CVD with GEH.Design Cross-sectional, cohort study.Setting Prospective African-American The Jackson Heart Study (JHS) with a nested family cohort in 2000–2004 enrolled residents of the Jackson, Mississippi metropolitan area.Participants Participants from the JHS with analysable ECGs recorded in 2009–2013 (n=3679; 62±12 y; 36% men; 863 family units). QRS, T and spatial ventricular gradient (SVG) vectors’ magnitude and direction, spatial QRS-T angle and sum absolute QRST integral (SAI QRST) were measured.Outcome Prevalent CVD was defined as the history of (1) coronary heart disease defined as diagnosed/silent myocardial infarction, or (2) revascularisation procedure defined as prior coronary/peripheral arterial revascularisation, or (3) carotid angioplasty/carotid endarterectomy, or (4) stroke.Results In adjusted mixed linear models, women had a smaller spatial QRS-T angle (−12.2 (95% CI −19.4 to -5.1)°; p=0.001) and SAI QRST (−29.8 (−39.3 to −20.3) mV*ms; p
