Abstract

To study the association between obesity and P-wave duration and dispersion (P(d)) in order to evaluate the potential risk for atrial fibrillation development in Chinese subjects using the definitions applied for Asian populations. The study population consisted of 40 obese (body mass index (BMI) > or = 25 Kg/m(2), according to the World Health Organization classification for the Asian population) subjects and 20 age- and sex-matched normal weight controls. Maximum P-wave duration (P(max)), minimum P-wave duration (P(min)), and P(d) were carefully measured using a 12-lead electrocardiogram, while the presence of interatrial block (IAB; P > or = 110 ms) was assessed. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding age, sex, history of hypertension or diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Compared to controls, BMI, left atrial diameter (LAD), and interventricular septal thickness were increased, while P(max) (111.9 +/- 9.3 vs 101.1 +/- 6.0 ms, P < 0.01) and P(d) (47.9 +/- 9.3 vs 31.8 +/- 6.9 ms, P < 0.01) were significantly prolonged in the obese group. P(min) was similar between the two groups. The prevalence of IAB was significantly greater in the obese subjects. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that there w...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.

Cardiac Remodeling

Cardiac remodeling in response to a myocardial infarction is characterized by progressive ventricular dilatation, cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and deterioration of cardiac performance. Discover the latest research on Cardiac Remodeling here.

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.
