Key result
In asymptomatic healthy individuals, the frequency of atrial (OR 1.059) and ventricular arrhythmias (OR 1.023) increased with age, and transient AV block was more frequent with resting HR <60 bpm.

These age-associated arrhythmias on Holter warrant no intervention in healthy adults; extends prevalence data but leaves open prognostic value.

In asymptomatic healthy individuals, the frequency of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias on 24-hour Holter monitoring increases with age, while transient Mobitz I AV block is associated with a resting heart rate <60 bpm.
DePaula et al. (2006) conducted a cohort in Asymptomatic healthy individuals without heart disease (n=625). 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring was evaluated on Frequency of atrial arrhythmias per 1-year increase in age (OR 1.059, 95% CI 1.050-1068, p=<0.0001). In asymptomatic healthy individuals, the frequency of atrial (OR 1.059) and ventricular arrhythmias (OR 1.023) increased with age, and transient AV block was more frequent with resting HR <60 bpm.
