Assessment of atrial conduction times in patients with frequent premature venticular complex

Abstract Background Premature ventricular complex (PVC) is common in general population. The atrial conduction time (ACT) represents the interval between electrocardiographic P wave and mechanical contraction, prolongation of ACT called electromechanical delay (EMD). In present study, we investigated parameters through echocardiography patients with frequent PVC. Methods study involved 54 PVC healthy volunteers as a control group. A comprehensive echocardiographic examination was done. difference onset p septal Am PA septal, lateral lateral, tricuspid annulus tricuspid. interatrial EMD tricuspid, left (LA) intraatrial right (RA) Results LA anterior-posterior dimension maximum volume were significantly larger patient Left EMD, longer durations prolonged Conclusions Atrial times Funding Acknowledgement Type funding sources: None.
