Abstract

Increased serum uric acid is associated with prevalence and incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), but there is a lack of studies on the association between serum uric acid and risk of AF in the general population. Methods and Results: We used the data from the Kangbuk Samsung Hospital health screening cohort recorded between 2002 and 2015. The primary outcome was incidence of AF diagnosed on 12-lead electrocardiography. We analyzed and compared the hazard ratios (HR) according to baseline serum uric acid quartiles. The present study involved 282,473 subjects without baseline AF. Mean follow-up was 5.4±3.6 years. During follow-up, AF was identified in 365 subjects (cumulative incidence, 0.13%). After multivariable adjustment, including that for C-reactive protein, the risk of AF was significantly higher in the upper 2 quartiles than in the lowest quartile in men (upper third quartile: adjusted HR, 1.53; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-2.89; highest quartile: HR, 1.60; 95% CI: 1.13-2.25). In women, even though AF incidence rate was very low (0.6 of 10,000 person-years), the risk of AF in the highest quartile was 6.93-fold that in the lowest quartile (95% CI: 1.53-31.29). Serum uric acid is significantly and positively associa...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.
