Gender-affirming hormone therapies (GAHT) were associated with some cardiac repolarization alterations evident on ...
Cardiac aging results in the development of cardiac pathologies. Electrocardiogram (ECG) measures reflect cardiac excitation, conduction, and repolarization.
Other common training-related ECG changes included sinus bradycardia in 61.3%, early repolarization in 24.3%, LV hypertrophy in 10.4% and a PR interval of 200 milliseconds or more in 10.3%.
