Atrial fibrillation in end stage renal disease patients: influence of hemodialysis on P wave duration and atrial dimension.

CONCLUSIONS: HD therapy prolongs Pwd. HD patients with a history of AF have prolonged Pwd compared to patients without, suggesting that increased Pwd is a marker of AF risk in patients with ESRD. HD session acutely increases Pwd, creating conditions favoring AF onset.
