Preoperative interatrial block is associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery. [PDF]
Interdiscip Cardiovasc Thorac SurgOBJECTIVES Atrial fibrillation is a common complication after heart surgery, potentially leading to chronic atrial fibrillation, heart failure and mortality. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between preoperative interatrial block and

Interatrial block and ischemic stroke. [PDF]
J Thorac Dis, 2018 Cardiac embolism is a common cause of ischemic stroke. Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be detected in nearly 25% of all patients with stroke by sequentially combining different electrocardiographic methods (1). Advanced IAB (aIAB) has been described to predict occurrence of new onset and recurrent AF (2).

Second-Degree Interatrial Block in Hemodialysis Patients [PDF]
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2015 Interatrial conduction delays manifest as a prolonged P-wave duration on surface ECG and the term interatrial block (IAB) has been coined. They are usually fixed, but cases of intermittent IAB have been described, suggesting functional conduction block ...

Neurological complications of interatrial blocks and Bayes’ syndrome
Revista Mexicana de Neurociencia, 2022 Interatrial blocks (IABs) are a variety of abnormalities in the interatrial conduction. Bayes’ syndrome is a clinical entity based on the association between advanced IABs and supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, being atrial fibrillation (AF) the most ...

Interatrial block in prediction of all-cause mortality after first-ever ischemic stroke [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2019 Background Interatrial block (IAB) is an ECG indicator of atrial fibrosis related to atrial remodeling and thrombus formation thus leading to embolic stroke and increasing mortality.

Interatrial Block: A Virtual Pandemic Requiring Attention
Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2014 Interatrial block (IAB) denotes a conduction delay between the two atria (P-wave duration ≥110 ms). Depending on the severity of the block, IAB can be partial or advanced.
