Key result
Normal ECG was observed in only one-third of adult residents of Warsaw, with intraventricular conduction disturbances most frequent in men and repolarization changes in women.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate ECG abnormalities in adult residents of Warsaw and to determine time trends of ECG abnormalities between 1984 and 2012.
Cross-Sectional (n=1,081)
Normal ECGs are present in only about one-third of the general adult population in Warsaw, highlighting a high prevalence of baseline ECG abnormalities such as intraventricular conduction disturbances and repolarization changes.

ECG abnormalities are common in adults; leaves open their prognostic value and need for longitudinal validation.
Piwońska et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in General population (n=1,081). Electrocardiographic abnormalities was evaluated on Prevalence of ECG abnormalities. Normal ECG was observed in only one-third of adult residents of Warsaw, with intraventricular conduction disturbances most frequent in men and repolarization changes in women.
