Factors influencing P terminal force in lead V1 of the ECG in hemodialysis patients.

Conclusions: Abnormal PTFV1 is prevalent in HD patients. The HD process adversely affects PTFV1 values. Pre-dialysis abnormal PTFV1 is mainly associated with structural heart abnormalities and hydration status. HD-induced abnormal PTFV1 is associated predominantly with serum potassium changes as well as HD-induced hypotension. Our results suggest possible risk factors for AF; however, their clinical significance needs to be confirmed in follow-up studies. PMID: 29593797 [PubMed]
