Epidemiology and Outcomes Associated with PR Prolongation
2023, Cardiology ClinicsEpidemiology and Outcomes Associated with PR Prolongation
2021, Cardiac Electrophysiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Independent risk factors associated with PR prolongation in this cohort included age, male sex, height, and systolic blood pressure. In a Japanese cohort from the National Integrated Project for Prospective Observation of Non-communicable Disease And its Trends in the Aged (NIPPON DATA), over 9000 community-dwelling participants, the prevalence of PR prolongation was 1.9% (N = 180/9051).17 Future epidemiologic studies are needed to understand the incidence and prevalence of PR prolongation in patients of Hispanic ethnicity and additional underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.
