Abstract：Objective To analyze arrhythmia in elderly patients. Methods Six hundred and seventy-nine arrhythmia patients were divided into pre-senile and senile groups. Medical history was collected, and types of ar-rhythmia in those patients were analyzed. Results Among all types of arrhythmia in those 679 patients, premature systole was mostly observed (31.66%, 215 cases), right bundle branch block was the second (21.80%, 148 ca-ses) and sinus bradycardia was the third (9.43 %, 64 cases). In those 679 patients, 81.89% (556 cases) were in senile section and 18.11% (123 cases) were in pre-senile patients(P <0.05). Four hundred and nineteen cases (61.71%) had concomitant diseases that were coronary heart disease, hypertension and hyperlipemia. Conclusion The incidence of arrhythmia in elderly patients has a close relation with age, gender and complicated diseases.
