Abstract
The objective of our study was to define factors associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with hypertension (HTN) and preserved left ventricle systolic function.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Overall, 273 consecutive patients with HTN residing in urban area were included in the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups: the first - 60 patients with paroxysmal and persistent AF (33% men, age 62, 28 (10,02), the second - 213 patients without AF (33% men, age 59,37 (8,27).
RESULTS
Stepwise logistic regression analysis demonstrated AF presence was associated with alcohol intake ≥ 7 drinks per week (OR 4,12; 95%CI: 1,04-16,35), low physical activity (OR 3,18; 95% CI: 1,32-7,68), higher hip circumference (OR 1,19; 95% CI: 1,08-1,31) and history of HTN (OR 1,10; 95% CI: 1,04-1,17). BMI was not associated with presence of AF (OR 0,75; 95% CI: 0,61-0,91).
CONCLUSION
Thus in our urban population with hypertension, AF is associated with alcohol intake ≥ 7 drinks per week, low physical activity, increased hip circumference and history of hypertension.AF prevention should include modification of lifestyle.
