PG - 378-83 LID - S0914-5087(15)00185-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jjcc.2015.06.003 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Diabetes mellitus is an independent and strong risk factor for development of atrial fibrillation (AF). Electrophysiologic and electromechanical abnormalities are associated with a higher risk of AF. In this study we aimed to determine the correlation of atrial conduction abnormalities between the surface electrocardiographic and tissue Doppler echocardiographic measurements in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS: A total of 88 consecutive T2DM patients and 49 age-, gender-, and body mass index-matched healthy volunteers were included in the present study. Baseline characteristics were recorded and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, transthoracic echocardiography, and 12-lead surface electrocardiography were performed for all study participants. Atrial electromechanical delay (EMD) intervals were measured. RESULTS: Maximum P-wave duration and P-wave dispersion (Pd) were significantly higher in patients with T2DM (105.7+/-10.2ms vs. 102.2+/-7.5ms, p=0.02; 40.6+/-7.6ms vs. 33.6+/-5.9ms, p<0.001, respectively). Interatrial, intraatrial, and intraleft atrial EMD were significantly higher in the T2DM patients when compared with the controls (16.5+/-7.8ms vs.11.2+/-4.4ms, p<0.001; 9.0+/-7.3ms vs. 6.0+/-3.8ms, p=0.002, and 7.4+/-5.2ms vs. 5.1+/-3.2ms, p=0.002 respectively). Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between interatrial EMD and Pd (r=0.429, p<0.001) and left atrial volume (r=0.428, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, there was significant EMD and Pd in patients with T2DM as compared with healthy volunteers. Additionally, interatrial EMD was correlated with Pd and left atrial volume index. CI - Copyright (c) 2015 Japanese College of Cardiology. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
