---|---|---|---|
Premature atrial contractions (PACs) per hour | 3.3 [0.2; 9.3] 5.0±5.4 | 3.3 [0.7; 5.3] 3.1±2.4 | 0.8253 |
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) per hour | 0.0 [0.0; 0.0] 0.2±0.5 | 0.0 [0.0; 1.5] 0.6±1.3 | 0.7270 |
Heart rate, range | 46 to 132 | 41 to 95 |
The coinvestigators performing chest compressions were connected to a Holter ECG. The records did not reveal any serious cardiac arrhythmias. Neither bigeminy nor salvos were detected. Data are expressed as median [25%; 75% quartile] and mean±SD and for heart rate as the range from lowest to highest observed heart rate.
