A survey of cardiovascular diseases was carried out in June-August 1973 in the city of Pahlavi, a port in the Caspian area in Iran. A representative sample was taken from persons aged 35 years and older from both sexes. The prevalence of high blood pressure (WHO definition) is 29,7% in men and 31,0% in women of this age group. ECG tracings were prepared and the prevalence of various abnormalities are presented. A considerable proportion of the population have ST segment and T wave abnormalities. Correlation between ECG abnormalities and blood pressure figures has been studied. This study shows that there is a relationship between ECG abnormalities of group 3, 4 and 5 (Minnesota Coding) and the levels of blood pressure.
1973年6月至8月，在伊朗里海地区的一个港口城市巴列维开展了一项心血管疾病调查。从35岁及以上的男女中抽取了具有代表性的样本。该年龄组男性高血压患病率（按照世界卫生组织的定义）为29.7%，女性为31.0%。记录了心电图，列出了各种异常情况的患病率。相当一部分人群存在ST段和T波异常。研究了心电图异常与血压数值之间的相关性。这项研究表明，（明尼苏达编码）3、4和5组的心电图异常与血压水平之间存在关联。
