Key result
Female patients referred for ambulatory ECG monitoring had a higher rate of normal baseline ECGs compared to males (36.17% vs 20.75%) and exhibited different indications and arrhythmia profiles.
Why the study?
Significant differences exist in ECG parameters between men and women, but data regarding gender differences in ambulatory ECG monitoring indications and findings are lacking, particularly in Middle Eastern populations.
Are there gender differences in indications and findings of ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring?
Cross-Sectional (n=100)
No
Are there gender differences in indications and findings of ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring?
There are significant gender differences in the indications and findings of ambulatory ECG monitoring in the Iraqi population, highlighting the need for gender-specific considerations in arrhythmia evaluation.
