Beschreibungen/Notizen

• After ECG analysis for all 2,755 male subjects in the study (mean age, 51 ± 14 years), serum testosterone levels were determined with an Architect ci8200 analyzer using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, Illinois). Higher prevalence of an ER ECG pattern in young adults and decreasing prevalence in middle-aged and elderly men have been described (3), which can be explained by gradually descending testosterone levels with age.
