Description
Summary:The objective of the study was to find the prevalence of metabolic syndrome along with identifying the atrial arrhythmias, QTC 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.
