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).

P wave dispersion and maximum P wave duration are associated with renal outcomes in chronic kidney disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 P wave parameters measured by 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) are commonly used as a noninvasive tool to evaluate left atrial enlargement. This study was designed to assess whether P wave parameters were associated with renal outcomes in chronic kidney ...

P-wave duration dispersion in patients with lichen planus [PDF]
Clinics, 2014 Dear Editors, We have read the article “Increased P-wave dispersion (PWD) in patients with newly diagnosed lichen planus (LP)” by Sahin et al. (1). These researchers aimed to investigate PWD in patients with LP, and they concluded that PWD increased in the surface electrocardiographic measurements of LP patients. This result may be important for the

P Wave Duration/P Wave Voltage Ratio Plays a Promising Role in the Prediction of Atrial Fibrillation: A New Player in the Game [PDF]
Cardiology Research and Practice, 2021 Background. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice. Identification of patients at risk for developing AF and the opportunity for early targeted intervention might have a significant impact on morbidity and ...

P-wave duration is a predictor for long-term mortality in post-CABG patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Risk stratification in secondary prevention has emerged as an unmet clinical need in order to mitigate the Number-Needed-to-Treat and make expensive therapies both clinically relevant and cost-effective. P wave indices reflect atrial conduction, which is

Electrocardiographic P-wave Indices as a Useful Tool to Predict Successful Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvotomy in Patients with Mitral Stenosis [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2014 Introduction: Patients with hemodynamically significant mitral stenosis (MS) have prolonged P-wave duration and increased P-wave dispersion (PWD) that decreases after successful percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (PBMV).

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.
