Abstract
Abstract
Background
Relationship between AF and inflammation was shown in previous studies. However, there was limited data about the association between the acute hepatitis B flare (AVHF-B) and AF in the long-term follow-up.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of AVHF-B and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with AF.
Methods
Our University echocardiography, electrocardiogram (ECG) and hepatitis B database were reviewed from 2008 to 2017 to identify patients with AF and AVHF-B. Patients were followed for a mean 26.4±0.9 months and were divided into two groups according to the absence or presence of AVHF-B with AF.
Results
Among 280 patients with AF, 100 (35.7%) patients had AVHF-B. Total any event rates were significantly higher in patients with AVHF-B compared to those without AVHF-B (P<0.001). Arrhythmias including AF, atrial tachycardia,APC, VT, and VPC also occurred in 54 (19.3%) patients, with a significantly higher incidence in patients with AVHF-B than in those without AVHF-B (P<0.001). In univariate analysis, CHA2DS2 VASc, Left atrial diameter (LAD), E/E' (the peak mitral flow velocity of the early rapid filling wave/early diastolic mitral annulus velocity) and AVHF-B were significantly associated with arrhythmic events and total any events including thromboembolic events, arrhythmic events, re-hospitalizations and mortality. In multivariate analysis, AVHF-B was independent risk factors for arrhythmic events (P=0.031) at the long-term follow-up.
Conclusion
The patients with AVHF-B were associated with higher arrhythmic events and total any events, suggesting more intensive medical therapy with close clinical follow-up will be required.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There was limited data about the association between the electrocardiographic characteristics and irreversible fulminant hepatitis (IFH) in patients with acute hepatic failure (AHF) in the long-term follow up.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to analysis the electrocardiographic characteristics for prediction of IFH in patients with AHF.
Methods
Our University echocardiography, electrocardiogram (ECG) and viral hepatitis database were reviewed from 2008 to 2017 to identify patients with AHF. Patients were followed for a mean 32.0±0.8 months and were analyzed to find out the predictors for IFH.
Results
Among 202 patients with AHF, 23 (11.4%) patients had IFH. In our study, there are 118 (58.7%) viral hepatitis patients (hepatitis A, 83 patients, 41.3%; hepatitis B, 19 patients, 9.5%; hepatitis C, 15 patients, 7.5%) and alcoholic hepatitis patients (83 patients, 41.3%). Based on the ROC curve, we set the corrected QT interval (QTc) cutoff value of 425 msec for prediction of IFH, which gave a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 66.0% (P=0.002). In univariate analysis, age, QTc, diabetes mellitus (DM), heavy alcoholics, labile INR, hemoglobin, albumin, total bilirubin, sodium, and c-reactive protein were significantly associated with IFH. In multivariate analysis, age, QTc, DM, heavy alcoholics, and total bilirubin were independent risk factors for IFH at the long-term follow-up.
Conclusion
Longer QTc (>425msec) in patients with AHF was associated with higher IFH, suggesting close clinical and electrocardiographic follow-up will be required.
