PREVALENCE BRADYARRHYTHMIA AMONG TEENAGERS AND YOUNG MEN OF MILITARY AGE FROM THE RESULTS OF SCREENING ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY EXAMINATION

Abstract

The study was conducted among 2067 adolescents and boys aged 16-26 years, sent by military medical commissions for medical examination in a multidisciplinary hospital. For the diagnosis of bradyarrhythmia, a screening electrocardiographic examination was performed at rest. Results of electrocardiographic screening showed that bradysystole type of heart rhythm can occur in 30.5% of adolescents and boys. Bradysystole type of heart rhythm is associated with various electrocardiographic abnormalities, including supraventricular extrasystole (p<0,05), incomplete blockade of the right leg of the fasciculus (p <0.05), migration of pacemaker atrial (p<0,05), voltages hypertrophy of the left ventricle (p <0,05) and disturbance of repolarization processes (p<0,05). Patients with bradycardia need an in-depth clinical and instrumental examination that will allow to assess the functional reserves of the body and solve expert questions related to the suitability for military service in the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
