Metabolic syndrome and P-wave duration in the American population

Annals of Epidemiology

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome has a high prevalence in the United States. P-wave duration is a valuable indicator for atrial electrical conduction. Abnormalities in atrial electrical conduction can predispose to atrial fibrillation. Our objective was to estimate the effect of metabolic syndrome on P-wave duration in a nationally representative sample. We included 6499 adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (1988-1994). We estimated the effect of metabolic syndrome and its components on P-wave duration after adjusting for confounders such as demographic and lifestyle variables. We stratified the analyses by gender. Irrespective of gender, participants with metabolic syndrome had a longer P-wave duration than that of those without it. In addition, we observed a positive linear dose-response relation between metabolic syndrome components and P-wave duration. Patients with metabolic syndrome had a longer P-wave duration. They might have been at a higher risk for atrial fibrillation and mortality; they need to be periodically checked by their health care providers. However, the results of this study should be confirmed in prospective studies.

Atrial Filbrillation

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

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

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.
