Alterações eletrocardiográficas na população adulta de cidade do sul do Brasil: estudo populacional

Abstract

The prevalence of electrocardiographic changes was 20.2% in the population surveyed, the majority being minor. Both major and minor electrocardiographic abnormalities showed significant associations with risk of coronary artery disease, and may predict cardiovascular risk in asymptomatic adults.

Estudo Da Prevalência De Eletrocardiogramas Normais Na Rede De Teleassistência De Minas Gerais

“…Constatou-se a prevalência de 20,2% de alterações eletrocardiográficas na população estudada, sendo a maioria de anormalidades menores. As anormalidades eletrocardiográficas maiores e menores tiveram associações significativas com fatores de risco de doença arterial coronária [16].…”

Prevalence of electrocardiographic abnormalities based on hypertension severity and blood pressure levels: the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke study

“…We stratified our cohort into 6 mutually exclusive groups based on BP control and number of antihypertensive medications used. We defined normotension as SBP < 120 mmHg and DBP < 80 mmHg without antihypertensive medication use; prehypertension, as SBP 120 – 139 mmHg and/or DBP 80 – 89 mmHg without antihypertensive medication use 12 ; controlled HTN as SBP < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mm Hg on ≤ 3 classes of antihypertensive medications 23 ; uncontrolled HTN as SBP ≥ 140 mmHg and/or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg on none or < 3 antihypertensive medications; controlled aTRH as SBP < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mm Hg on ≥ 4 classes of antihypertensive medications and uncontrolled aTRH as SBP ≥ 140 mmHg and/or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg on ≥ 3 classes of antihypertensive medications.…”
