Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most important cardiovascular risk factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical correlates of DM, including management and outcomes, in the EURObservational Research Programme (EORP)-Atrial Fibrillation (AF) General Pilot (EORP-AF) Registry of the European Society of Cardiology. We studied consecutive patients (N = 3101) enrolled in 70 centres of nine European countries between February 2012 and March 2013, and compared diabetics with non-diabetics during a 1-year follow-up. In the overall cohort, the prevalence of DM was 20.6%. Diabetics were older (71 ± 9 vs. 68 ± 12 years, P < 0.0001) and had more comorbidities, higher CHA2DS2-VASc score (4.6 ± 1.6 vs. 2.9 ± 1.7, P < 0.0001) and higher prevalence of permanent AF (21.5 vs. 16.0%, P = 0.0022). Quality of life amongst DM patients was significantly worse [atrial fibrillation quality of life questionnaire (AF-QoL) score 45.2 ± 19.2 vs. 49.3 ± 20.1, P < 0.0001]. Amongst diabetics, the use of electrical cardioversion (16.2 vs. 24.6%, P < 0.0001) and catheter ablation (3.3 vs. 8.6%, P < 0.0001) was lower, whilst oral anticoagulants were more often prescribed (84.3 vs. 78.9%, P = 0.0027). After one year, diabetic patients had significan...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
