Association of vitamin D deficiency with electrocardiographic markers of left atrial abnormalities.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Electrocardiographic markers of left atrial (LA) abnormalities are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We examined the relationship of vitamin D deficiency with prolonged P wave duration and PR interval as markers of LA abnormalities.

Methods

This analysis included 5,894 participants (58.12 ± 12.9 years; 54.7% women; 49.8% non-Hispanic Whites) without clinical CVD from NHANES III. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to examine the association of vitamin D categories (<20 ng/ml, 20-29 ng/ml and >30 ng/ml (reference) with prolonged P wave duration (≥120 ms) and PR interval (≥200 ms).

Results

There was an incremental increase in the prevalence of prolonged P wave duration and PR interval across vitamin D categories with the
