Second-Degree Interatrial Block in Hemodialysis Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interatrial conduction delays manifest as a prolonged P-wave duration on surface ECG and the term interatrial block (IAB) has been coined. They are usually fixed, but cases of intermittent IAB have been described, suggesting functional conduction block at the Bachmann bundle region. We report 2 cases of patients on chronic hemodialysis therapy presenting with intermittent IAB.

Atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular blocks and bundle branch blocks in hemodialysis patients.
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most frequent arrhythmias diagnosed in clinical practice and it is also relatively common in dialysis patients. Atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction disturbances are less investigated in hemodialysis patients and data about their prevalence are insufficient. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of atrial fibrillation, atrioven...
متن کاملInteratrial Block: A Virtual Pandemic Requiring Attention
Interatrial block (IAB) denotes a conduction delay between the two atria (P-wave duration ≥110 ms). Depending on the severity of the block, IAB can be partial or advanced. Even though several studies have reported a high prevalence of IAB, it still remains a diagnosis many neglect without any follow-up. The crisis in IAB is undramatic until predictable complications appear. Nevertheless, the da...
متن کاملSymptomatic tachy- and bradyarrhythmias after transcatheter closure of interatrial communications with Amplatzer devices.
BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to present our own experience related to frequency of symptomatic tachy- and bradyarrhythmias in patients after transcatheter closure of interatrial defects (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) using Amplatzer plugs. METHODS Transcatheter closure of interatrial communications with Amplatzer devices was carried out on 739 patients in our center. Only patient...

A 49 years old male on hemodialysis through a right arteriovenous fistula was admitted to the hospital with a 3 – 4 weeks history of fatigue and weight loss. Blood culture grew gram positive bacilli later identified as Corynebacterium jeikeium. An echocardiogram revealed 1.3 cm x 1.6 cm vegetation on the aortic valve, an aortic root ring abscess and he developed a new second degree atrioventric...
متن کاملRelationship between left atrial functions, P-terminal force and interatrial block in chronic haemodialysis patients.
OBJECTIVE Interatrial block (IAB) connotes a P wave duration ≥ 110 msec on electrocardiography (ECG). P-terminal force corresponds to a biphasic P wave with its terminal negative phase ≥ 40 msec x mm in V1 derivation on ECG. IAB and P-terminal force are closely related parameters and they are accepted as predictors for left atrial dysfunction, left atrial dilatation, atrial fibrillation and str...
