Abstract

Introduction: P-wave dispersion ( PWD) has been shown to be a non-invasive electrocardiographic predictor for development of atrial fibrillation ( AF). Thus, it may be possible to decrease AF risk through improvement in PWD. Our objective was to compare the effects of cilazapril and atenolol on P-wave duration and dispersion in patients with hypertension.
