EVALUATION OF HIGH RISK OF ARRHYTHMIA IN PREGNANCIES OF ADVANCED AGE

Objective: Cardiovascular mortalities normally occur in pregnancies of older age and most common 3rd reason behind this is arrhythmia. The purpose of this research work was to find out whether the enhanced arrhythmia risk increases with the pregnancies in elder age. Methodology: In this research work, 280 pregnant females, of whom 98 females of advance age and 182 females under 35 years of age were the part of this research work. We evaluated the arrhythmia risk with the measurement of the duration of electrocardiographic P-wave, interval of QT, interval of T peak-to-end and ratio of Tp-e/QT. Results: Although we found no disparities in the interval of Tp-e and ratio of Tp-e/QTc between the females of both groups, the highest QTc, lowest QTc and QTc dispersion values were much high in the pregnancies of advanced age as compared to the values in group of controls. Additionally, the pregnancies of older ages were present with high P dispersion. Correlation analysis showed that enhanced QTc dispersion and P were present having association with the maternal age. Analysis by multiple linear regression displayed that QTc dispersion was autonomously having association with the maternal age. Conclusion: Repolarization factors increase in the pregnancies of advance age even all these parameters are in normal range, which should result into an examination whether this is a condition of pathology.
