Abstract
Fifty-seven atrial signals in 47 cases were studied. Amplitude of the endocardial signal of sick sinus syndrome (SSS, 2.1±1.0mV, mean±SD, n=28) is significantly lower than that of atrioventricular block (AVB, 4.0±1.1mV, n=12, p<0.001). The total p-wave voltage of leads I, II, and III of ECG is lower in SSS (0.30±0.11mv, n=35) than in AVE (0.46±0.11mV n=11) significantly (p<0.001). And the total p-wave voltage shows relatively good correlation to the amplitude of atrial endocardial signal (Y=0.22+0.05X, r=0.532). Amplitude of intraatrial signal may be suspected preoperatively.
