title: [Characteristic cardiac rhythm disturbances in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
abstract: This 24 hr ECG monitoring study included 226 patients with isolated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease. It revealed severe cardiac rhythm disturbances with the prevalence of high-grade ventricular extrasystole (66.6%), andfrequent paired and grouped supraventricular extrasystoles, paroxysmal supreventricular tachycardia (38.1%) and sinus tachycardia (14.3%). Polytopic atrial tachycardia (14.3%), atrial fibrillation (19.0%) and pacemaker migration through the atria (4.7%) occurred less frequently
