Zusammenfassung

Background: PR prolongation (pPR, ≥200 ms) is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). AF leads to macroand microembolic embolization which may lead to cognitive dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between cognitive function and PR interval in individuals with normal (nPR) and pPR intervals and in AF patients. Methods: The LIFE-Adult-Study is a population-based cohort study, which has recently completed the baseline examination of 10. 000 randomly selected participants from Leipzig. In this cross-sectional analysis, individuals ≥40 years with available ECG and cognitive functio…
