May reflect intra-atrial conduction issues in transient AF; hypothesis-generating for advanced ECG markers and requires prospective validation.
Do patients with transient atrial fibrillation exhibit abnormal P wave characteristics during episode-free periods compared to normal controls?
Patients with transient atrial fibrillation exhibit prolonged P wave duration and abnormal configurations on advanced electrocardiographic recordings during sinus rhythm, suggesting underlying intra-atrial conduction disturbances.
Kawano et al. (1988) studied this question.
