Abstract

The risk of COPD is related to the total burden of inhaled particles to which an individual is exposed during his whole life, for example indoor air pollution as result from the burning of biomass fuels for cooking. Objective: To study P wave dispersion in patients with biomass exposure of the community La Cruz de Taratara, Sucre Municipality, Falcon State, during the period January – May 2017. Methods: In this observational case-control study, with analytical non-experimental design, 30 patients with biomass exposure were included (19 women and 11 men), mean age 65.4 ± 11.7 years; control group consisted of 10 patients without biomass exposure matched by same gender and age. Electrocardiograms were performed in all patients for P wave duration manual measurement in at least 7 of the 12 leads. Results: P wave dispersion was founds to be significantly higher in patients with biomass exposure in comparison to control cases (48.33 ± 9.12 ms versus 24 ± 5.16 ms) (p: ˂ 0.05). Conclusion: Patients with biomass exposure may have a higher likelihood of atrial arrhythmias, especially paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, due to prolonged PWD.
