M H Choo, and C Lau, and W O Phoon, and B L Chia

Electrocardiograms from 204 subjects aged 60 and above, residing in homes for the aged, were analysed. 13% had evidence of cardiovascular disease. 55% of the electrocardiograms showed at least one abnormality. At least 10% of electrocardiograms showed left atrial hypertrophy, first degree atrioventricular block, right bundle branch block, pathologic Q waves, ST-T abnormalities, or prolonged QT interval. Findings predictive of cardiovascular disease were left ventricular hypertrophy patterns and ST-T abnormalities, or prolonged QT interval. Findings predictive of cardiovascular disease were left ventricular hypertrophy patterns and ST-T abnormalities. Increase of age from 60 to 100 years was associated with prolongation of PR and QT intervals, but shortening of the RR interval.
