Description
Jovita Egharevba and six co-authors chart heart trace variants in sound Nigerian university students. Their study appeared in twenty twenty-six. Such variants are common in young adults but thinly charted in Africa. Norms come from white groups, so sound marks can be misread as ill in African folks, which sparks needless tests.
One hundred two students with sound blood pressure got full heart traces read by a blind heart expert. Near seven in ten had at least one variant. A youth T-wave form led, then high wave height. Sex splits were seen but did not hold on strict checks. No true long QT case was found on close review.
