ObjectiveTo get knowledge of the average heart rates and the incidence rates of atrial arrhythmia of patients with palpitation in different ages. Methods1 864 patients with palpitation were enrolled in the study and according to ages, we divided them into young group （≥18 years old, ＜40 years old） , adult group（≥40 years old, ＜60 years old）and senior group （≥60 years old, ＜80 years old）, separately 334, 780 and 750 cases fallen in. Carry out transtelephonic electrocardiographic monitoring (TTM) for all patients and analyze the incidence of the average heart rate as well as atrial arrhythmia. ResultsFor the young, adult and senior group separately, the average heart rates were（77.2±10.2）bpm，（74.3±9.3）bpm and（71.0±10.0）bpm（P＜0.001）while the incidence rates of atrial arrhythmia were 23.4%, 35.6% and 68.3%（P＜0.001）. ConclusionWith the increase of the age, the heart rate decreases and the incidence rates of atrial arrhythmia increases.
