Clinical determinants of the PR interval duration in Swiss middle-aged adults: The CoLaus/PsyCoLaus study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prolonged PR interval (PRi) is associated with adverse outcomes. However, PRi determinants are poorly known. We aimed to identify the clinical determinants of the PRi duration in the general population.

Hypothesis

Some clinical data are associated with prolonged PRi.

Methods

Cross-sectional study conducted between 2014 and 2017. Electrocardiogram-derived PRi duration was categorized into normal or prolonged (>200 ms). Determinants were identified using stepwise logistic regression, and results were expressed as multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval). A further analysis was performed adjusting for antiarrhythmic drugs, P-wave contribution to PRi duration, electrolytes (kalemia, calcemia, and magnesemia), and history of cardiovascula
