 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Chronic high altitude pulmonary heart disease Clinical characteristics of arrhythmia [Abstract] Objective To investigate the plateau Xining elderly patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease with acute exacerbation of arrhythmia incidence and clinical features. Methods From January 2006 ~ January 2008 43 cases of hospitalized patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease patients with a complete Data were retrospectively analyzed, all patients were hospitalized with acute exacerbation, and has accepted the conventional ECG, critically ill patients were Holter monitoring. The results of 21 cases a single arrhythmia, accounting for 48.84% of the total number of patients, the occurrence of heart failure 3 cases, the rate was 14.29%, the corrected condition improved after treatment, two and 10 patients with two or more arrhythmia, accounting for 23.26% of patients, 5 cases of heart failure, the occurrence rate of 50% after treatment No improvement in condition, and 3 died. Conclusion altitude pulmonary heart disease aged high incidence of arrhythmias, ECG varied, the same patient, there may be a variety of arrhythmias, the incidence is higher, in particular, Holter ECG in the diagnosis of plateau Cor significant arrhythmia complications. [Keywords:] Cor Chronic pulmonary heart disease is common and frequently-occurring disease of the elderly, the mortality rate is higher. As high altitude thin air, so that the blood oxygen saturation and oxygen partial pressure lower than the plain people, a higher incidence of pulmonary heart disease, and prognosis than poor. According to the statistics in Xining area after the death of pulmonary heart disease due to cerebral hemorrhage, is the second leading cause of death in the elderly, and increased mortality rate increased with altitude [1]. arrhythmia is a common complication of pulmonary heart disease, such as not treated early, is an important reason leading to death [2]. our hospital is
