Article Synopsis
- Sinus P-wave abnormalities, particularly abnormal P wave terminal force in V1 (aPTFV1), have been linked to an increased risk of thromboembolic strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) due to issues in the left atrial appendage (LAA).
- A study of 169 patients revealed that those with aPTFV1 were 2.24 times more likely to have a decreased LAA ejection velocity (LAAV < 40 cm/s) after adjusting for various risk factors.
- These findings suggest that aPTFV1 could serve as an indicator of low LAA ejection velocity, warranting further research to validate its clinical relevance.
