P wave dispersion (PWD) has been reported to be a non-invasive electrocardiographic predictor for atrial fibrillation. The aim of this study is to evaluate PWD between men with erectile dysfunction (ED) and healthy controls in order to investigate whether PWD was prolonged in patients with ED and related to severity of the disease.
This study included a total of 72 men (42 patients with ED and 30 healthy controls). Demographic data and clinical features were recorded on admission. An electrocardiographic evaluation was obtained to measure PWD values for both patients and controls.
Maximum P wave duration was 108.5 ± 4.7 and 108.3 ± 4.3 in ED group and control group, respectively ( = 0.748). Minumum P wave duration was significantly higher in the control group than in the ED group. PWD was 48.1 ± 5.9 in the ED group. As a result, PWD was prolonged in patients with ED (48.1 ± 5.9 vs. 38.0 ± 3.9, < 0.05). A significant negative correlation was observed between IIEF score and PWD values ( < 0.05, = -0.662).
Patients with ED exhibited prolonged PWD values compared with normal controls. In addition, PWD was found to be associated with severity of the disease.
据报道,P波离散度(PWD)是心房颤动的一种非侵入性心电图预测指标。本研究旨在评估勃起功能障碍(ED)男性与健康对照者之间的PWD,以调查ED患者的PWD是否延长以及是否与疾病严重程度相关。
本研究共纳入72名男性(42例ED患者和30名健康对照者)。入院时记录人口统计学数据和临床特征。对患者和对照者均进行心电图评估以测量PWD值。
ED组和对照组的最大P波时限分别为108.5±4.7和108.3±4.3(P=0.748)。对照组的最小P波时限显著高于ED组。ED组的PWD为48.1±5.9。结果显示,ED患者的PWD延长(48.1±5.9对38.0±3.9,P<0.05)。国际勃起功能指数(IIEF)评分与PWD值之间存在显著负相关(P<0.05,r=-0.662)。
与正常对照者相比,ED患者的PWD值延长。此外,发现PWD与疾病严重程度相关。
