Abstract

This observational study analyzed the prevalence of arrhythmias in healthcare students using a retrospective cohort of quantitative approach. The research was carried out with the application of a structured interview and an electrocardiogram. Students from pharmacy, biomedicine, medicine, psychology, and nursing courses participated. A higher prevalence of arrhythmias was demonstrated in medical students with no statistical significance. What groups had in common was the presence of symptoms that may or may not be related to cardiovascular changes, such
as dizziness and palpitation, which may be directly related to the high emotional demand from academic activities overload.
