P-wave duration and dispersion analysis: methodological considerations.
Methodological Considerations To the Editor: With great interest, we have read the article of Fan and colleagues1 on the effects of biatrial pacing in the prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass surgery. By measuring P-wave duration from 12-lead surface ECGs and calculating P-wave dispersion, they found that biatrial pacing resulted in a more significant red...
متن کاملP-wave dispersion measurement: Methodological considerations
Well-known difficulties in defining P-wave onset and offset may restrict the accuracy and reproducibility of P-wave dispersion measurements. To achieve greater precision in measuring P-wave dispersion, simultaneous digital recording of all 12 ECG leads and onscreen measurement of P wave characteristics is mandatory to examine atrial fibrillation risk.
متن کاملP wave duration and P dispersion in healthy children.
To determine the normal values of P wave duration and P dispersion (Pd=maximum P wave duration-minimum P wave duration) in healthy children, electrocardiograms of 232 healthy children (143 boys, 89 girls, aged 7 to 15 years) were examined. There was no significant gender difference in maximum P wave duration (103+/-9.5 msec vs 102+/-8.4 msec, p=0.23) or P dispersion (27.2+/-5.3 msec vs 26.8+/-6...
متن کاملImpact of hemodialysis on P-wave amplitude, duration, and dispersion
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent arrhythmia in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). P wave duration (PWdu) and P wave dispersion (PWdi) have been shown to be predictors of emerging AF in different clinical conditions. We sought to study the impact of HD on PWdu, PWdi, and P wave amplitude in a cohort of patients undergoing HD. Seventeen patients (8 men, 31+/-10 years) were studied. Echo...
متن کاملP Wave Dispersion and Maximum P Wave Duration Are Independently Associated with Rapid Renal Function Decline
The P wave parameters measured by 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) are commonly used as noninvasive tools to assess for left atrial enlargement. There are limited studies to evaluate whether P wave parameters are independently associated with decline in renal function. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to assess whether P wave parameters are independently associated with progression to renal...
