Electrocardiographic left atrial abnormalities predict cardiovascular mortality

Electrocardiographic left atrial abnormalities predict cardiovascular mortality

Clinical utilization of electrocardiography for diagnosis of left atrial abnormalities is hampered by variable P-wave morphologies, multiple empiric criteria, and lack of an imaging “gold standard”. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of P-wave patterns and demonstrate which components have asso...

Zusammenfassung:Clinical utilization of electrocardiography for diagnosis of left atrial abnormalities is hampered by variable P-wave morphologies, multiple empiric criteria, and lack of an imaging “gold standard”. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of P-wave patterns and demonstrate which components have associations with cardiovascular death (CVD). This is a retrospective analysis of 20,827 veterans
