Increased P-wave dispersion in patients with newly diagnosed lichen planus
OBJECTIVE Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune mucocutaneous disease. Recent research has emphasized the strong association between inflammation and both P-wave dispersion and dyslipidemia. The difference between the maximum and minimum P-wave durations on an electrocardiogram is defined as P-wave dispersion. The prolongation of P-wave dispersion has been demonstrated to be an ind...
متن کاملP-wave duration dispersion in patients with lichen planus
We have read the article ‘‘Increased P-wave dispersion (PWD) in patients with newly diagnosed lichen planus (LP)’’ by Sahin et al. (1). These researchers aimed to investigate PWD in patients with LP, and they concluded that PWD increased in the surface electrocardiographic measurements of LP patients. This result may be important for the early detection of subclinical cardiac involvement. This ...
متن کاملP-wave Dispersion in Patients with Major Thalassemia
Abstract Background Prolonged P-wave duration and P-wave dispersion indicate interatrial conduction disturbance and early predict arrhythmia especially atrial fibrillation. Iron deposition in the atrial tissue might prolonged the atrial conduction time, and this study evaluated the P-wave prolongation and increased P-Wave dispersion in these patients. Materials and Methods Fifty patients w...
متن کاملIs there a relationship between left atrium size and p-wave dispersion in patients with lichen planus?
We read and were quite excited by the recently published article titled ‘‘Increased P-wave dispersion in patients with newly diagnosed lichen planus’’ by Sahin and coworkers (1). The study concluded that Pmax and P-wave dispersion (PWD) were significantly higher in the lichen planus (LP) group than in the control group (78.44¡14.14 ms vs. 68.64¡11.88 ms, p,0.01; 39.9¡12.9 ms vs. 32.4¡11.8 ms, p...
متن کاملEvidence of earlier thyroid dysfunction in newly diagnosed oral lichen planus patients: a hint for endocrinologists
The association between oral lichen planus (OLP) and hypothyroidism has been debated with conflicting results: some authors detected a statistically significant association between these two, while others did not confirm it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the thyroid status in patients with newly diagnosed OLP to test the null hypothesis that thyroid disease is not associated with an inc...
