The relationship between P wave dispersion and left atrial volume index in patients with metabolic syndrome

Aim: The incidence of cardiovascular diseases has increased in patients with metabolic syndrome(MS)and left atrial functions alsobegin to deteriorate from the early period. This effect could be demonstrated by both ECG and Echocardiography. In this study, weinvestigated the relationship between left atrium volume index (LAVi), which is a sensitive indicator of left atrial dysfunction, andp-wave dispersion (Pd) in patients with MS.Material and Methods: Patients with MS were included in the study. Baseline ECG and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)measurements were performed and the correlation between the Pd and LAVi was investigated.Results: 180 patients were included in the study. The median age of the study population was45(36-57) and 64% was male. Incorrelation analysis, there was a good correlation between Pd and LAVi(r:0.73 and p
