P wave dispersion and cardiac involvement in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

چکیده
Background and aim Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatologic disorder of childhood. Cardiac involvement as pericarditis, myocarditis and valvular disease is common in JIA (JIA). There are, however, few descriptions concerning systolic and diastolic functions of the left ventricle (LV) in children with JIA. P wave dispersion (PWD) is a sign for the prediction of atrial fibrillation (AF). A recent study found that rheumatoid arthritis patients had an abnormally high P wave duration and PWD , markers for supraventricular arrhythmogenicity. The study was to assess PWD and its relation with systolic and diastolic function of the LV in a group of children with JIA.
