Interatrial block (IAB; P wave > or = 110 ms) is highly prevalent and is strongly associated with atrial tachyarrhythmias and left atrial dysfunction, making it a potential embolic risk.
Among 293 neurological admissions over 2 years, 85 patients were diagnosed with embolic strokes and 208 with nonembolic strokes. Patients were then matched for stroke risk factors and evaluated for IAB. Eighty-eight percent of probable embolic stroke patients showed sinus rhythm, demonstrating a 61% IAB prevalence. Only hypertension (P < 0.001; r = 0.3) and IAB (P < 0.006; r = 0.2) were significant and directly correlated.
IAB could indeed be a novel risk for embolic strokes and further investigation is warranted.
房间隔阻滞(IAB;P波≥110毫秒)极为常见,且与房性快速心律失常及左心房功能障碍密切相关,使其成为潜在的栓塞风险因素。
在两年间的293例神经科住院患者中,85例被诊断为栓塞性卒中,208例为非栓塞性卒中。随后根据卒中风险因素对患者进行匹配,并评估IAB情况。88%的可能栓塞性卒中患者表现为窦性心律,IAB患病率为61%。仅有高血压(P<0.001;r = 0.3)和IAB(P<0.006;r = 0.2)具有显著相关性且为直接相关。
IAB确实可能是栓塞性卒中的一个新风险因素,有必要进一步研究。
