Metabolic syndrome and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice, and the lifetime risk of developing AF is 25%. Even in the absence of structural heart disease AF is extremely common and is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and death. Risk factors for AF are age, sleep apnoea, valvular heart disease, hypertension, obesity, male gender, and type 2 diabe...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Susceptibility in Metabolic Syndrome
In this issue of Circulation, Watanabe et al1 demonstrate an apparent correlation between the presence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and increased susceptibility to atrial fibrillation (AF) in a relatively large ( 28 000 subjects) communitybased cohort in Japan. The study’s strength, apart from the size of the population, lies in its prospective assessment of free-living individuals without eviden...
متن کاملCorrelation between Diet Quality and Metabolic Syndrome
Background: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing with an alarming rate world wide. Since diet components' studies that focus on MetS have produced largely inconsistent results, assessing the whole diet than single nutrients on health can be more practical. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between diet quality and MetS components. Methods: This cross-sectional st...
متن کاملMetabolic syndrome and benign prostatic hyperplasia: association or coincidence?
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS) may be prone to developing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but the direction of causality remains uncertain. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the association between BPH and MetS in men who were referred to surgery for BPH. We were interested in identifying the anthropometric, metabol...
متن کاملThe link between diabetes and atrial fibrillation: cause or correlation?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of arrhythmia in the world. As the population ages, it is estimated that the prevalence of AF will increase by 2.5 fold in the next 50 years.1 At the same time, diabetes has become a pandemic disease in the western world as well as in developing countries. Independent risk factors for chronic AF include hypertension, heart failure, valvular heart...
