[Incidence and peculiar changes in the electrocardiogram of patients after cerebrovascular insults.--Epidemiological study of 70--105-year-old people (author's transl)].

An epidemicological study of 70 to 105-year-old people revealed a frequency of cerebrovascular insults from 1,8% of living and of 23,9 respectively 34,4% of deceased men or women. As typical changes of the electrocardiogram in recent insults are to be found prolongations of the QT-interval, large and often terminal negative T-waves as well as large and high, but over the left precordium often negative U-waves.
