Abstract

Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) can detect atrial fibrillation (AF) early and accurately. Risk factors for the development of new-onset AF in patients with CIEDs remains uncertain. Patients with CIEDs who visited Chiba University Hospital between January 2016 and December 2016 were enrolled. We only included patients without single chamber CIEDs or a known history of AF. Of 371 patients with CIEDs, 78 (21.0%; median age 61.0 years, 65.5% male) developed new-onset AF. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that independent predictors for the development of new or incident AF were age ≥65 years (odd ratio [OR] 2.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.54-4.96, P = 0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.20-4.19, P = 0.011), congestive heart failure (OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.06-3.54, P = 0.031), and left atrial volume index >34 ml/m2 (OR 3.51, 95% CI 1.96-6.25, P < 0.001). Based on these 4 clinical factors (age ≥ 65, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, left atrial volume index > 34 ml/m2) there was a good predictive ability for new AF development (AUC 0.728) and clinically usefulness using decision curve analysis. A substantial number of patients with CIEDs develop new-onset AF. Four clinical factors (age ≥ 65, diabet...Continue Reading

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.

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.

Atrial Filbrillation

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