Key result
Metabolic syndrome is strongly linked to atrial arrhythmias in patients with permanent pacemakers.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and evaluate its association with atrial arrhythmias, QTc interval, and coronary artery disease in patients with permanent pacemakers.
Is metabolic syndrome associated with an increased risk of atrial arrhythmias in patients with implanted permanent pacemakers?
Observational (n=171)
Is metabolic syndrome associated with an increased risk of atrial arrhythmias in patients with implanted permanent pacemakers?
Metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent in patients with permanent pacemakers and serves as a strong independent predictor of atrial arrhythmias.

Metabolic syndrome may heighten atrial arrhythmia risk in pacemaker patients; leaves open whether targeted management improves outcomes.
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.

Pai et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Cardiac conduction abnormality requiring permanent pacemaker (n=171). Metabolic syndrome vs. Absence of metabolic syndrome was evaluated on Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and atrial arrhythmias. Among 171 patients with permanent pacemakers, metabolic syndrome was present in 52.6% and was a strong independent predictor of atrial arrhythmias.
