Early detection through population screening is essential to prevent its progression to severe RHD. Rhythm changes and prolongations of PR and QTc intervals in the ECG are described in the advanced RHD cases. However, these parameters were not yet studied in asymptomatic RHD. We aimed to investigate the potential of ECG biomarkers for screening RHD in asympto...
