May refine AF risk models in primary prevention; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
ECG parameters such as P wave indices, PR interval, QT interval, and ectopy provide valuable prognostic information for predicting incident atrial fibrillation and could enhance primary prevention risk models.
German et al. (2015) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation. Electrocardiogram (ECG) predictors was evaluated. Various electrocardiographic parameters, including PR interval, P wave indices, QT interval, left ventricular hypertrophy, and ectopy, are significant predictors of incident atrial fibrillation.
