Study of the Interest of ECG Teletransmission in Retirement Home (EHPAD) In the Ile-de-France Region.

Study of the Interest of ECG Teletransmission in Retirement Home (EHPAD) In the Ile-de-France Region.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the interest and the workability of ECG teletranmission in EHPAD in Île-de-France. ECG for the elderly is beneficial to detect or monitor cardiovascular disease.

Main objectives :

• Evaluate the workability of ECG uploaded by a caregiver who was trained before
• Evaluate the prevalence of ECG anomalies highlighted thanks to the realisation of an uploaded ECG (supraventricular and ventricular rhythm disorder and coronary pathology)

Secondaries objectives :

• Evaluate the prevalence of unknown ECG anomalies and thus determine the number of new diagnostics highlighted thanks to uploaded ECG
• Evaluate the prevalence of ECG iatrogenic anomalies

The study is observational, multicentre and prospective. It is going to include 3211 elderly living in EHPAD in Île-de-France. 150 EHPAD or involved in the study, they are split in two groups : 100 EHPAD will receive ECG and 50 EHPAD will not. This last group will enable to lead a comparative analysis, only global data about death will be collected.

The study will last 36 months with 12 months of participation for each resident.

Inclusion Criteria:

Elderly living in nursing homes (EHPAD) who requires electrocadiogram (ECG) due to :

• Cardiac pathology : coronary artery disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, valvular disease, atrial fibrillation
• A medication which could causes electrocadiogram (ECG) anomalies Patients living in nursing homes (EHPAD) who give their agreement.

Exclusion criteria :

Protected adult under a protection of the court
