Diabetes patients with high risk of cardiac arrhyt

As we all know, heart disease, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis and other heart diseases are the most common cause of arrhythmia induced. The United States to a new study shows that diabetes is also at high risk of arrhythmia. According to the British "Reuters" reported on May 12, Seattle Salsa Institutes of Health, Dr. Dublin and her colleagues found that patients with diabetes mellitus, with the sick time, the risk of AF will increased. Also, if poor blood glucose control will increase the risk.

Atrial fibrillation (the "AF") is a common arrhythmia. "It may not be fatal in itself, but it will increase the risk of stroke and heart failure." Dr. Dublin, in an interview, said that the reason why diabetes and atrial fibrillation will be linked very important "link" is obesity. "This is very important." Stressed Dr Dublin, because obesity can also increase the risk of diabetes and atrial fibrillation. Dr. Dublin, research data from the United States, a large health care system, involving 1410 patients with atrial fibrillation and 2203 normal subjects without arrhythmia. Information shows that 18% of patients with atrial fibrillation receiving treatment for diabetes, about 14% of the control group. In other words, diabetes, increased risk of AF nearly 4%. Moreover, the study found that more severe diabetic condition, the higher their risk of atrial fibrillation.

In order to understand the severity of diabetes, the researchers used two evaluation methods: a glycated hemoglobin (ie, A1C value), the other patients receiving treatment for diabetes duration. The researchers found that the risk of suffering from atrial fibrillation with increased deterioration of glycemic control. Glycosylated hemoglobin A1C values from the point of view, when the A1C value of 7 or lower than 7, that the ideal blood sugar control, the risk of atrial fibrillation, compared with 6%; when A1C values between 7-9, the increased risk of atrial fibrillation to 50 %; when A1C exceeds 9:00, atrial fibrillation doubled the risk. Arrhythmia risk with the prevalence of diabetes increases with time, each additional year of 3% increased risk of atrial fibrillation. "Doctors should be wary of diabetes risk in patients with atrial fibrillation." Emphasized Dr. Dublin.

In addition, under the guidance of doctors adhere to medication, diabetics also need to pay attention to in life. For example, not every meal fed to frequent meals and do not drink strong coffee, strong tea, eat more dairy products, nuts, rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium food. In addition, body temperature increased 1 degree Celsius increase of heart rate 8-10 times per minute, is likely to induce arrhythmia, so anti-cold, fever, also important in preventing arrhythmias.
