Relationship between P-wave dispersion, left ventricular mass index and blood pressure

Relationship between P wave dispersion, left ventricular mass index and blood pressure.

INTRODUCTION The study of arterial hypertension risk factors in children guarantees the establishment of health policies to avoid complications associated with this illness in the future. The highest values of P-wave dispersion during sinus rhythm are pointed as predictors of atrial fibrillation in adulthood since there is an association between arterial hypertension, P-wave dispersion and left...

The Relationship Between Breast Feeding and Body Mass Index and Blood Pressure in Pre-School Children

Introduction: It is generally accepted that breast feeding has a beneficial effect on the health of infants and children. The evidence that breast feeding protects against obesity is inconclusive also the influence of breast feeding on blood pressure in later life is uncertain. The major aim of this study was to assess the association between method of infant breast feeding and components of t...

P-wave dispersion and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in hypertension

Anger types: heritability and relation to blood pressure, body mass index, and left ventricular mass.

The relationship between anger and cardiovascular morbidity has not been investigated among Mexican Americans. This exploratory study examined the heritability of anger types and their relationship to cardiovascular variables in samples of unrelated and related Mexican Americans residing near Chicago, Illinois. All of the anger variables of the Spielberger Anger Expression Scale (in, out, contr...

P-wave dispersion: relationship to left ventricular function in sickle cell anaemia

BACKGROUND The prognostic implications of P-wave dispersion in patients with a variety of cardiac disease conditions are increasingly being recognised. The relationship between P-wave dispersion and left ventricular function in sickle cell anaemia is unknown. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at evaluating the relationship between P-wave dispersion and left ventricular function in adult Nigerian...
