OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between P-wave indexes, echocardiographic parameters, and CHA2DS2-VASc score in patients without atrial fibrillation and valvular disease. METHODS: This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients of a tertiary hospital with no hi...
INTRODUCTION: Several P wave indexes and echocardiographic data are associated with a higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) and thromboembolism; however, there are few studies in patients without AF and even less comparing these parameters with CHA2DS2-VASc score. OBJECTIVES: Primary: Evalua...
Relationship between CHA2DS2-VASC score, P wave indices and echocardiographic parameters in patients without atrial fibrillation and without valve disease
INTRODUÇÃO: O escore CHA2DS2-VASc é utilizado como preditor de desfecho cardiovascular mesmo na ausência de fibrilação atrial (FA). Diversos índices de onda P e parâmetros ecocardiográficos associam-se a maior risco de desenvolvimento de FA e tromboembolismo, entretanto, há poucos estudos em pa...
