- Abstract
The objective of the study was to find the prevalence of metabolic syndrome along with identifying the atrial arrhythmias, QT
C interval, and coronary artery disease among these patients during follow-ups. Among 171 subjects who were implanted with permanent pacemakers, metabolic syndrome was present in 90 (52.6 %). Prevalence of Arrhythmias was 49 (28.7 %), atrial tachycardia (AT)/atrial fibrillation (AF) was seen in 29 (17 %) patients. Our study showed that there is a strong association between metabolic syndrome and atrial arrhythmias. Metabolic syndrome, age, coronary artery disease and Systolic blood pressure were good independent predictors of atrial arrhythmias among patients with pacemaker implantation., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023.
