[Electrocardiographic modifications of chronic ischaemic cardiopathy in aged and old patients (author's transl)].

The author presents the results of an electrocardiographic investigation in a group of 160 inpatients, aged from 65 to 95 years (80 females and 80 males). Coronary ischaemia due to atherosclerosis produces in elderly people distinct clinical features and important ECG abnormalities. In this group, absence of correlation between clinical status and ECG modifications of myocardial ischaemia was found much more frequently than in non-elderly adults. In the aged, paroxysmal arrhythmias, by their metabolic and haemodynamic disturbances, determine in most cases the poor prognosis in these patients.
