Prevalence and associating factors of atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertension: a nation-wide study

Background

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia and increases risk of ischemic stroke. Data on the prevalence of AF in Thailand is lacking especially in patients with hypertension. The objectives of this study were to determine prevalence of AF in patients with hypertension and to determine factors that are associated with increased prevalence of AF in a multicenter nationwide study.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey for the national outcome evaluation among hypertensive patients visiting 831 public hospitals in Thailand was conducted between 2011 and 2012 to evaluate status of standard care in hypertensive patients visiting public Thailand Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) hospitals. Inclusion criteria were hypertensive patients aged at least 20 years who had received medical care in the targeted hospital for at least 12 months. The main outcome measurement was AF rhythm, and was measured along with potential risk factors age, gender and cardiovascular risk factors.

Results

There were 13207 hypertensive patients who had ECG data recorded during the survey. AF was detected in 457 patients (3.46 %). Prevalence of AF increased with increasing age, was more common in males and in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Multivariable modelling was conducted to assess which factors were most associated with increased prevalence of AF, and the results showed older age followed by male gender, low LDL-cholesterol and increased uric acid levels were the most important risk factors for AF in this population.

高血压患者发生心房纤颤的发病率及相关因素：一项全国范围的研究

背景

心房纤颤（房颤）是一种常见的心律失常，同时有增加缺血性中风的风险。房颤发病率的数据在泰国较缺乏，特别是在高血压患者方面。本次研究的目的是通过全国范围内多中心的研究确定高血压患者的房颤发病率以及导致发病率上升的相关因素。

方式

通过断代调查法测试了在2011-2012年间831个泰国公立医院来访的高血压患者中评估了泰国公共卫生部对高血压患者的标准关怀的状态。选入本次调查的病人均至少有二十年的高血压病史同时已经在目标医院接受了至少12个月的医疗关怀。主要结果测量的是心房纤颤的节律，并且与潜在的危险因素的年龄，性别和心血管疾病的危险因子一起进行测量。

结果

在调查期间共有13207名高血压患者有心电图数据的记录，其中有457例发生了房颤。房颤发病率的增长报随着年龄的增长，同时常见于男性慢性肾脏疾病患者。通过多变量建模在本组中评估哪些因素与房颤的发病率增加最有关联，结果显示高龄男性，低胆固醇和尿酸水平的升高是影响房颤发病率的高风险因素
