Association of P-Wave Parameters With Left Atrial Hemodynamics in Atrial Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

P-wave parameters, readily obtainable from standard 12-lead ECGs, have been associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), ischemic stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions. Left atrial cardiomyopathy (AtCM), characterized by atrial fibrosis and functional impairment, is considered a central substrate in the development of AF and embolic stroke of undetermined source. This study examines the relationship between P-wave parameters and left atrial hemodynamics and evaluates their potential diagnostic utility in identifying AtCM.

Methods

We conducted a monocentric, prospective study in hospitalized patients. Inclusion criteria were sinus rhythm and age ≥ 18 years. P-wave parameters were assessed in conjunction with echocardiographic measures of left atrial function. St
