Ariyarajah et al correlated left atrial volume with P wave duration in the electrocardiogram. The authors are from Thomas Jefferson University, Mahidol University in Bangkok and the University of Massachusetts.
Parameters:
(1) duration of the P wave in any lead in milliseconds
left atrial volume in mL per meter squared BSA =
= (0.28 * (P wave duration in milliseconds)) - 3.21
where:
• In Figure 4 the longest P wave duration in a 12-lead ECG was used for the calculation.
Performance is best when interatrial conduction delay is present.
