background anthracyclines are important components of many chemotherapeutic protocols. the present study aimed to evaluate the repolarization changes in electrocardiography (ecg) which may predict drug induced arrhythmia. materials and methods in this cross-sectional study, the recorded ecgs were assessed for qt dispersion (qtd), qt corrected dispersion (qtcd), t peak to tend dispersion (tped),...

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 with m...

P-wave dispersion (PWD, Pd or Pdis) is a noninvasive electrocardiographic (ECG) marker for atrial remodeling and predictor for atrial fibrillation (AF). PWD is defined as the difference between the widest and the narrowest P-wave duration recorded from the 12 ECG leads. Increased P-wave duration and PWD reflect prolongation of intraatrial and interatrial conduction time with lack of a well-coor...

OBJECTIVE Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease characterized by widespread pain. Somatic complaints associated with the cardiovascular system, such as chest pain and palpitations, are frequently seen in FM patients. P and QT dispersions are simple and inexpensive measurements reflecting the regional heterogeneity of atrial and ventricular repolarization, respectively. QT dispersion can cause ...
