Abstract

Although the harmful effect of tobacco exposure on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors are well established, the constituents of cigarette-smoke and the pathophysiological mechanism involved are unknown. Recently, deep terminal negativity of P wave in V1 (DTNPV1) has emerged as a marker of left atrial abnormality that predicts atrial fibrillation, stroke, and death due to all-cause or CVD. Therefore, we examined the association between serum cotinine levels with abnormal DTNPV1 using the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. This analysis included 4,507 participants (mean age 58 ± 13 years, 53% women, 49% non-Hispanic white) of NHANES III, without history of CVD or major electrocardiographic abnormalities and not on heart rate modifying medications. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between serum cotinine and abnormal DTNPV1-defined from automatically processed electrocardiograms as values of the amplitude of the terminal negative phase of P wave in lead V1 exceeding 100 μV. Abnormal DTNPV1 was detected in 2.3% (n = 105) of the participants. In a model adjusted for demographics and CVD risk factors, each 10 ng/ml serum cotinine was associated with 2% i...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
