This study revealed that the prevalence of ECG changes was high among TD patients. The most common type of ECG change observed was arrhythmia followed by myocardial infarction. The age range of 41-60 years old, being female, having diabetes mellitus, and not starting the treatment were significantly associated with the ECG changes. Implementing an efficient noninvasive screening of cardiac status can detect unrecognized and asymptomatic cardiac impairment in TD patients.
