Özet

Background: Patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) have an increased risk for atrial fibrillation (AF). Previously it was shown that maximum P wave duration and P wave dispersion in 12-lead surface electrocardiograms are significantly increased in individuals with a history of paroxysmal AF. We studied P maximum and P dispersion in adult patients with ASD during normal sinus rhythm. In addition, the impact of surgical closure of ASD on these variables within 1 year after surgery was evaluated.
