However, there was no difference in terms of intra-atrial electromechanical delay (p &gt; 0.05). For patients with acute rheumatic fever, a positive correlation was identified between the left atrium diameter and the P-wave dispersion and interatrial electromechanical delay (r = 0.524 and p &lt; 0.001, and r = 0.351 and p = 0.014, respectively). Furthermore, an important correlation was also identified between the P-wave dispersion and the interatrial electromechanical delay (r = 0.494 and p &lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S104795111200193X_abs4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study shows the prolongation of P-wave dispersion and interatrial electromechanical delay in acute rheumatic fever.
