AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightPWD in hyperhidrotic subjects was also found to be identical in controls (47 ± 8 vs. 43 ± 9 p = 0.1).Conclusion: These results suggested that hyperhidrotic subjects had no prolonged P wave duration and increased PWD compared to healthy subjects and these patients were not prone to the atrial conduction abnormalities.

Abstract
Background: In this study we compared P wave duration and dispersion (PWD) in patients with essential hyperhidrosis and healthy control subjects. Methods: Twenty subjects (mean age 28 ± 7 years) with essential hyperhidrosis and twenty healthy control subjects (mean age 31 ± 8 years) were included to study. Twelve leads surface ECG recorded at a paper speed of 50mm/s was obtained from all participants. The change in maximum and minimum P wave duration was measured manually and difference between two values was defined as PWD. Transthoracic echocardiographic examination was performed in all participants.Results: There was no difference between two groups in terms of baseline demographic properties. On echocardiographic examination no significant cardiovascular disorder was detected. Maximum and minimum P wave duration were found to be similar in hyperhidrotic subjects and healthy controls (111 ± 10 vs.110 ± 6 p = 0.6, 64 ± 12 vs. 67 ± 9 p = 0.4, respectively). PWD in hyperhidrotic subjects was also found to be identical in controls (47 ± 8 vs. 43 ± 9 p = 0.1).Conclusion: These results suggested that hyperhidrotic subjects had no prolonged P wave duration and increased PWD compared to healthy subjects and these patients were not prone to the atrial conduction abnormalities.
Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, esansiyel hiperhidrozlu hastalarda ve sağlıklı kontrollerde P dalga süresi ve dispersiyonunu karşılaştırdık. Materyal ve Metod: Esansiyel hiperhidrozlu yirmi birey (ortalama 28 ± 7 yaş) ve yirmi sağlıklı birey (ortalama 31 ± 8 yaş) çalışmaya alındı. Tüm katılımcılardan 50 mm/saniyelik kağıt hızında kaydedilmiş 12 kanallı yüzey EKG elde edildi. Maksimum ve minimum P dalga süresindeki değişim elle ölçüldü ve ikisi arasındaki fark P dalga dispersiyonu olarak tanımlandı. Tüm katılımcılara ayrıca transtorasik ekokardiyografik değerlendirme yapıldı.Bulgular: Demografik özellikler bakımından iki gurup arasında fark yoktu. Ekokardiyografik değerlendirmede P dalga süresi ve dispersiyonu hiperhidrotik ve kontrol bireylerinde benzer bulundu (111 ± 10 ve 110 ± 6 ms p = 0.6, 64 ± 12 ve 67 ± 9 ms p = 0.4, sırasıyla). P dalga disersiyonu da hiperhidrotik bireylerle kontrol bireylerinde benzer bulundu (47 ± 8 ve 43 ± 9 ms p = 0.1).Sonuç: Bu bulgular göstermektedir ki hiperhidrotik bireylerde P dalga süresi ve dispersiyonu sağlıklı kontrol bireylerine kıyasla artmamıştır ve bu hastalar atriyal ileti anomalilerine yatkın değildirler.
