Aims The concept of “atrial cardiomyopathy”(AtCM) had been percolating through the
literature since its first mention in 1972. Since then, publications using the term were …

Abstract P‐Wave Dispersion (PWD) is an ECG parameter defined as the difference between
the longest and the shortest P‐Wave duration. PWD has been associated with hypertension …

Background P‐wave indices have been used to predict incident atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke,
and mortality. However, such indices derived from automated ECG measurements have not …

Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an effective management method for
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). The P wave in the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) …

Background Prior studies demonstrated that female sex is associated with arrhythmia
recurrence after endovascular pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). However, it is unknown if the …

The most commonly applied way of teaching students to convey the foundations of human
anatomy and physiology involves textbooks and lectures. This way of transmitting …

Background Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the most promising management method for
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). The P wave in the electrocardiogram (ECG) represents …

Background Electrocardiographic markers, as surrogates for sympathetic excitotoxicity, are
widely predictive of cardiovascular adverse events, but whether these markers can predict …

Atrial substrate modification after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) of paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation (pAF) can be assessed non-invasively by analyzing P-wave duration in the …

Since the discovery of pulmonary veins (PVs) as foci of atrial fibrillation (AF), the commonest
cardiac arrhythmia, investigation revolves around PVs catheter ablation (CA) results …
