The Association Between Ambient Air Pollution and Atrial Fibrillation
Int Heart J. 2021 Mar 6. doi: 10.1536/ihj.20-523. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia; it has been known to increase the risk of stroke and heart failure. The association between air pollutants and AF has remained to be controversial. Thus, in this study, we sought to undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to assess the short- and long-term effects of ambient air pollution on AF.We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Ovid for all related studies up to October 2019. We used the random-effects model to estimate the excess risk percentage (ER%...

Short P-Wave Duration Is Associated with Incident Atrial Fibrillation
This study, therefore, aimed to test the effect of the association between P-wave and PR-interval on the ECG and incident AF.The PIVUS (Prospective Investigation of the Vasculature in Uppsala Seniors) study (1016 individuals all aged 70 years; 50% women) was used to identify whether the ECG variables P-wave duration (Pdur) and PR-duration in lead V1 were related to new-onset AF. Exclusion criteria were prevalent AF, QRS-duration ≥ 130 milliseconds (msec), atrial tachyarrhythmias and implanted pacemaker/defibrillator. Cox proportional-hazards models were used for analyses. Adjustments were made for gender, RR-interval, be...
