Anxiety is associated with increased risk for atrial cardiopathy
This study aimed to investigate the association of anxiety with atrial cardiopathy, giving a clue to the causal relationship of this mind –heart link. This cross-sectional study analyzed 532 patients who were free of AF, atrial flutter, stroke, acute coronary syndrome and valvular heart disease. Atrial cardiopathy was defined as P-wave terminal force in lead V1 >  5000 μV·ms on electrocardiogram or severe left atrial enlargement on echocardiogram. Generalized anxiety disorder was ascertained by a score of>  17/56 on Hamilton anxiety rating scale. Multivariable logistic regression was used to explore the as...

Electrocardiographic Left Atrial Abnormality and B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in a General Japanese Population: NIPPON DATA2010.
CONCLUSIONS: In the contemporary general population cohort, PTFV1 was independently related to high BNP concentration. PTFV1 may be an alternative marker to BNP in identifying individuals at a higher risk of future cardiovascular events in the East Asian population. PMID: 32188793 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Atrial fibrillation and the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial
Objective: To assess the prognostic value of electrocardiographic atrial fibrillation in older hypertensive people in the randomized, placebo-controlled Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial. Methods: Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial randomized 3845 hypertensive people aged 80 years and over, 3273 with electrographic data on the presence or absence of atrial fibrillation at baseline and without established cardiovascular disease. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause mortality, incident fatal and nonfatal major cardiovas...

Assessing Atrial Fibrillation Substrates by P Wave Analysis: A Comprehensive Review
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic rhythm control strategies impact on AF-related symptoms, while leaving largely unaffected the risk of stroke. Moreover, up to 20% of AF patients are asymptomatic during paroxysmal relapses of arrhythmia, thus underlying the need for early markers to identify at-risk patients and prevent cerebrovascular accidents. Indeed, non-invasive assessment of pre-clinical substrate changes that predispose to AF could provide early identification of at-risk patients and allow for tailored care paths. ECG-derived P wave analysis i...

What Are the Main Acyanotic Congenital Heart Diseases?
Discussion Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are malformations of the heart and great vessels. It occurs in about 5-8/1000 live births. Cyanotic congenital heart disease is often noted perinatally because of cyanosis, respiratory distress and/or poor feeding or other distress type problems. A review can be found here. Acyanotic congenital heart disease (ACHD) can present at birth but often is seen in older children or adults unless the lesions are severe, especially obstructive lesions. Severe lesions may also cause cyanosis and distress type problems in patients also. Shunting lesions cause problems by diverting blood flo...

A Contemporary Approach to Hypertensive Cardiomyopathy: Reversing Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo highlight pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to reversing hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). We identify high-risk phenotypes that may benefit from aggressive blood pressure (BP) management to prevent incident outcomes such as the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, stroke, and heart failure.Recent FindingsLVH is a modifiable risk factor. Intensive BP lowering (systolic BP<  120 mmHg) induces greater regression of electrocardiographic LVH than standard BP targets. The optimal agents for inducing LVH regression include renin–angiotensinogen...

Aerobic fitness and sympathetic responses to spontaneous muscle sympathetic nerve activity in young males
ConclusionAlthough unrelated to traditional MSNA characteristics, aerobic fitness was inversely associated with spontaneous sympathetic neurovascular transduction in young males. This may be a potential mechanism by which aerobic fitness modulates the regulation of arterial blood pressure through the sympathetic nervous system.

Comparison of clinical features and conventional echocardiographic characteristics of patients with heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction with and without interatrial block.
CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to evaluate the clinical relevance of IAB in HFmrEF. Adding this simple ECG marker to the clinical evaluation could add significantly to the management of HFmrEF. IAB can be used to identify high-risk HFmrEF patients, as well as to guide follow-up and appropriate treatment. PMID: 33350397 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effect of chelation therapy on arrhythmogenic and basal ECG parameters of lead exposed workers
In this study, we aimed to compare the basal and arrhythmogenic ECG parameters of lead exposed workers before and after chelation therapy and to evaluate the effect of acute change of blood lead levels on ECG. Fourty consecutive occupationally lead exposed workers were enrolled, demographic, blood, echocardiographic, and electrocardiographic data's were analyzed before and after chelation therapy. Pmax, P min, P Wave Dispersion, and QT Dispersion values which are arrhythmia predictors were significantly lower after chelation therapy compared to values before chelation therapy. Lead exposed workers are under the risk of ven...
