Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is highly prevalent in patients with cardiovascular disease. We have recently shown that an elevation of the electrocardiographic (ECG) parameter P wave terminal force in lead V1 (PTFV1) is linked to atrial proarrhyth...
Little is known about the role of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in the relationship between P-wave terminal force in lead V1 (PTFV1) and stroke prognosis. We aimed to investigate how hsCRP influences the effect of PTFV1 on ischemic stro...
Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an effective management method for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). The P wave in the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) represents atrial depolarisation. This study aims to utilise the P wave to predic...
The arrhythmogenesis of atrial fibrillation is associated with the presence of fibrotic atrial tissue. Not only fibrosis but also physiological anatomical variability of the atria and the thorax reflect in altered morphology of the P wave in the 12-l...
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common pathological arrhythmia, and its complications lead to significant morbidity and mortality. However, patients with AF can often go undetected, especially if they are asymptomatic or have a low b...
Background and Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) after mitral valve repair surgery and is associated with adverse cardiac outcomes. Early identification of patients at high risk f...
