ABSTRACT
Background: Systems have been developed captable of performing different types of analysis and reporting formats, incrasingly smaller and lighter, while retaining a high level of reliability and recording.Objective: Determine the main heart rhythms observed in the Department of cardiac physiology of hospital Angeles Mocel in the period between the years 2009 and 2010.
Material and methods: To determine the frequency of the main cardiac rhythms observed in cardiac physiology of the Mocel Hospital service, proceeded to characterize these disorders based on the Holter of 3 channels of a sample of 343 patients report. Was carried out his characterization based on age, sex and weight (kg); identified all cases of disorders (n = 856) and the frequency of these in each patient, assuming that most of the patients had two or more cases. Last was conducted to identify incidences of heart rhythms.
Results: The age groups with greater presence of the major heart rhythms were 40 to 80 years, grouping almost 80% of the cases and in the case of under 40 years of age the rate with this type of disorders was 18.3%. On the other hand patients less than 60 years mostly presented one or two heart rhythm disorders.
Conclusions: The most common heart rhythm was sinus base rhythm with an incidence of the 79.3% of the patients and the second was increased isolation of the automatism of ventricular and above with an incidence in the 70.8% of patients, with significant difference.
