| Popis: | Purpose Metabolic syndrome has a high prevalence in the United States. P-wave duration is a valuable indicator for atrial electrical conduction. Abnormalities in atrial electrical conduction can predispose to atrial fibrillation. Our objective was to estimate the effect of metabolic syndrome on P-wave duration in a nationally representative sample. Methods We included 6499 adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (1988–1994). We estimated the effect of metabolic syndrome and its components on P-wave duration after adjusting for confounders such as demographic and lifestyle variables. We stratified the analyses by gender. Results Irrespective of gender, participants with metabolic syndrome had a longer P-wave duration than that of those without it. In addition, we observed a positive linear dose–response relation between metabolic syndrome components and P-wave duration. Conclusions Patients with metabolic syndrome had a longer P-wave duration. They might have been at a higher risk for atrial fibrillation and mortality; they need to be periodically checked by their health care providers. However, the results of this study should be confirmed in prospective studies. |
