Atrial conduction explains the occurrence of the P‐wave dispersion phenomenon, but weakly [PDF]
Journal of Arrhythmia, 2020 Background P‐wave dispersion (PWD) is believed to be caused by inhomogeneous atrial conduction. This statement, however, is based on limited little solid evidence.

Simulated Obstructive Sleep Apnea Increases P-Wave Duration and P-Wave Dispersion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 BACKGROUND:A high P-wave duration and dispersion (Pd) have been reported to be a prognostic factor for the occurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), a condition linked to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

The effect of recanalization of a chronic total coronary occlusion on P-wave dispersion [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2021 Introduction: P-wave dispersion (PWD) obtained from the standard 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) is considered to reflect the homogeneity of the atrial electrical activity.

P-wave dispersion: an update [PDF]
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2016 P-wave dispersion (PWD, Pd or Pdis) is a noninvasive electrocardiographic (ECG) marker for atrial remodeling and predictor for atrial fibrillation (AF).

The P wave dispersion—one pixel, one millisecond
Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 The electrophysiological activity of the heart is recorded and presented in form of electrocardiogram (ECG). In 1998 the concept of P wave dispersion as the risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence was introduced.

P-wave dispersion measurement: Methodological considerations [PDF]
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2017 Well-known difficulties in defining P-wave onset and offset may restrict the accuracy and reproducibility of P-wave dispersion measurements. To achieve greater precision in measuring P-wave dispersion, simultaneous digital recording of all 12 ECG leads ...

Study of P wave dispersion in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and its role in prediction of atrial fibrillation recurrence [PDF]
The Egyptian Heart JournalBackground It has been known that increased P wave duration and P wave dispersion reflect prolongation of intra-atrial and interatrial conduction time and the inhomogeneous propagation of sinus impulses, which are well-known electrophysiologic ...

Evaluation of QT and P Wave Dispersion and Mean Platelet Volume among Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients [PDF]
International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2011 Background: In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) number of thromboembolic events are increased due to hypercoagulupathy and platelet activation. Increases in mean platelet volume (MPV) can lead to platelet activation, this leads to thromboembolic events ...

P wave dispersion and maximum P wave duration are independently associated with rapid renal function decline. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The P wave parameters measured by 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) are commonly used as noninvasive tools to assess for left atrial enlargement. There are limited studies to evaluate whether P wave parameters are independently associated with decline in ...
