Evaluation of Electrocardiographic Parameters and the Presence of Interatrial Block in Patients with Mad Honey Intoxication.
Cardiovascular Toxicology 2021 June 15
Mad honey intoxication (MHI) is a food-induced clinical condition that usually presents with cardiovascular symptoms and can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias if not diagnosed and treated early. No data exist in the literature on the presence of interatrial block (IAB) after food intoxication. In our study, we sought to investigate atrioventricular electrocardiography (ECG) parameters and determine the frequency of IAB in patients with MHI. In total, 76 patients diagnosed with MHI were included in our retrospective study. Twelve-lead ECGs were performed and participants were divided into two groups according to the presence of IAB in the reference ECG. The P maximum (Pmax ), P minimum (Pmin ), P dispersion (Pdisp ), T peak to T end (Tp-Te) interval and QT dispersion (QTdisp ) values were compared between the two groups. IAB was detected in 28 (35.5%) of 76 MHI patients included in the final analysis. Pmax duration (122 ± 8; p < 0.001) and PD (69 ± 11; p < 0.001) were significantly higher in the IAB ( +) group. During regression analysis, Pmax [odds ratio (OR) 1.158, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.036-1.294; p = 0.010] and Pd (OR 1.086, 95% CI 1.001-1.017; p = 0.046) were independently associated with IAB. Pmax and Pd area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values for IAB prediction were 0.926 (95% CI 0.841-1,000; p < 0.001) and 0.872 (95% CI 0.765-0.974; p < 0.001), respectively. ECG changes are common in patients presenting with MHI. These patients need to be followed up clinically in terms of progression to arrhythmic events that may occur in the future.
