P-wave Dispersion for Predicting Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Acute Ischemic Stroke
BACKGROUND Detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in acute ischemic stroke patients poses diagnostic challenge. The aim of this study was to predict the presence of PAF by means of 12-lead ECG in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Our hypothesis was that P-wave dispersion (P(d)) might be a useful marker in predicting PAF in patients with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS 12-lead res...
متن کاملClinical Significance of P Wave Dispersion in Prediction of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: P wave dispersion (PWD) is defined as the difference between the maximum P wave duration (Pmax) and the minimum P wave duration (Pmin) in 12-leads of the surface electrocardiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the values of PWD during atrial fibrillation (AF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: We prospectively evaluated atrial rhythms of 350 patients (251 m...
متن کاملEvaluation of patients for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after ischemic stroke.
A n 84-year-old woman with a medical history significant for hypertension and hyperlipidemia presented with aphasia and was found to have a left parietal subacute infarct with hemorrhagic conversion and a remote right parietal lobe infarct, not previously recognized on computed tomography of the head. Workup included a transthoracic echocardiogram that showed normal left ventricular size, an ej...
متن کاملParoxysmal atrial fibrillation in myotonic dystrophy type 1 patients: P wave duration and dispersion analysis.
OBJECTIVE Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1) is characterized by cardiac involvement, in about 80% of case, that predominantly affects the conduction system. Aim of our study was to evaluate the P-wave duration and dispersion (PD) in MD1 patients underwent pacemaker implantation with conserved systolic and diastolic function. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 60 MD1 patients (age 51.3 ± 5 years; ...
متن کاملSignal-averaged P wave in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
The theoretical and experimental rational of atrial signal-averaged ECG in patients with AF is delay in the intra-atrial and interatrial conduction. Similar to the ventricular signal-averaged ECG, the atrial signal-averaged ECG is an averaging of a high number of consecutive P waves that match the template created earlier P wave triggering is preferred over QRS triggering because of more accura...
