OBJECTIVE: To investigate the P wave duration andP wave dispersion in stroke patients,
and to compare those with healthy subjects. METHODS: We measured maximum and …

Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) has been reported to be associated with extensive
autonomic dysfunction as well as to involve the cardiovascular system. In this study we …

Cardiovascular disorders such as decreased heart rate variability, orthostatic hypotension,
and arrhythmias have been frequently observed in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. In this …

Background Silent cerebral infarction (SCI) is a neuronal injury without a clinically apparent
stroke or transient ischaemic attack. Left atrial cardiomyopathy is closely associated with …

Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most frequent disorders of central nervous
system, resulting in autonomic disturbances. Some electrocardiographic changes have …

Background: Detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in acute ischemic stroke
patients poses diagnostic challenge. The aim of this study was to predict the presence of …

I read with great interest the article by Pirinen et al. published in November, 2015 issue of
the International journal of Cardiology [1]. In their study, the authors investigated the …

Objective: To determine whether abnormal EKG findings could be predictive factors for
death after a stroke event. Methods: Patients with acute cerebral infarction who were 35 to …

We studied the seasonal variability of P dispersion in 523 healthy male patients, aged 22 4
years (range, 20-26). Four seasonal 12-lead resting electrocardiograms were recorded at 2 …

Background Electrocardiographic parameters, such as P wave peak time (PWPT), P wave
duration (PWD), and P wave amplitude in lead DI, have been utilized to assess left atrial …
