Abstract

Background: It is well known that erectile dysfunction (ED) is associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) development. On the other hand, prolongation of the duration of atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) is known to be a precursor for AF development. We aimed to evaluate AEMD in patients with ED patients without documented AF. Methods: Total of 68 outpatients with previously documented vascular ED and 44 participants without ED were enrolled to the current study. Sixty-eight patients with ED called as ED group and 44 participants without ED served as control group. We performed International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire for all participants to determine the disease severity of ED groups and to diagnose ED in control groups. Patients with a IIEF-5 score ≥22 were defined as having normal erectile functions. Both intra- and inter-AEMD were measured with tissue Doppler imaging. P-wave dispersion (PWD) was measured on a 12-lead electrocardiogram. Results: Basal characteristics were similar between the two groups. PWD, inter- and right intra-AEMD were significantly prolonged in patients with ED, compared to the control group (p = .02, p < .001 and p < .001, respectively). In the correlation an...Continue Reading

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.

Atrial Filbrillation

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