    The electrocardiographic records were performed in the randomly chosen area of Cracow. The results were obtained from 512 persons (153 M and 359 F) aged 70-93 years. Normal electrocardiograms observed in 25.4% of the studied population. The prevalence of electrocardiographic abnormalities was as follows: ST segment depression--40.0%, patterns of infarction--17.2% and left ventricular hypertrophy--10.4%. On the contrary right axis deviation, bradycardia, sinus arrest, II and III of a-v blocks were rarely observed.
