Key result
The presence of a P-terminal force >0.04 mm/s on electrocardiogram independently predicted new-onset atrial fibrillation in hemodialysis patients (HR 4.89; 95% CI 2.54-9.90).
Why the study?
Does the presence of a P-terminal force >0.04 mm/s on electrocardiogram predict incident atrial fibrillation in hemodialysis patients?
Population
299 patients on hemodialysis therapy, mean age 63.1 ± 14.0 years, 59.2% men, mean duration of hemodialysis…

In hemodialysis patients, age and a P-terminal force >0.04 mm/s on ECG are strong independent predictors of new-onset atrial fibrillation.

Does the presence of a P-terminal force >0.04 mm/s on electrocardiogram predict incident atrial fibrillation in hemodialysis patients?
Hazard Ratio: 4.89 (95% CI 2.54–9.9)
In hemodialysis patients, age and a P-terminal force >0.04 mm/s on ECG are strong independent predictors of new-onset atrial fibrillation.
Nishi et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Hemodialysis (n=299). P-terminal force >0.04 mm/s was evaluated on New-onset atrial fibrillation (HR 4.89, 95% CI 2.54 to 9.90). The presence of a P-terminal force >0.04 mm/s on electrocardiogram independently predicted new-onset atrial fibrillation in hemodialysis patients (HR 4.89; 95% CI 2.54-9.90).
