Population aging is one of the demographic characteristics of the 21st century. This process is necessarily accompanied by an increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases that may have expression on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Aim: to study an elderly people's abnormal electrocardiograph at government hospital. Material and Methods:All the Patients were admitted in the department of Medicine at Government medical college, Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, India. Study period January 2021 to june 2021These participants were then clinically examined and studied in accordance with the study's guidelines to generate the necessary data, which was then categorised, tabulated, and classed before being subjected to analysis. Total 300 persons should taken in the study.150 were healthy one and 150 were patients. The age of the persons should be 65 years and above, both the sex were included. Conclusion: Atrial fibril-lation was the most prevalent rhythm abnormality. With no association to sex or skin tone, ventricular repolarization changes outweighed ventricular depolarization changes. There were a sizable number of instances with extended QT, left ventricular hypertrophy, and anomalous left atrium.
