abstract:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common problem in pacemaker patients. We conducted a prospective observational study in patients paced for bradycardia with associated paroxysmal or persistent AF, to determine whether P-wave duration may stratify patients at higher risk for AF recurrences and AF-related hospitalizations. The patients were evaluated for the prevalence, cause, and predictors of hospitalization.
