Background

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with various cardiovascular risk factors and increased cardiovascular risk including ischemic stroke. Prolonged atrial electromechanical interval (EMI) evaluated by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) has been shown to be related to increased atrial fibrillation (AF) risk. The aim of the study is to evaluate atrial EMI and electrocardiographic P wave indices related to increased AF risk in patients with PCOS.

Methods

A total of 40 patient with PCOS and 20 age matched controls were included. Intraatrial and interatrial EMI were measured by TDI and P-wave dispersion (Pd) was calculated from the 12- lead electrocardiography (ECG).
