ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Previous studies have reported that inflammatory responses can promote the onset of cardiovascular diseases; however, its association with cardiac conduction disorders remains unclear. The present community-based cohort study aimed to elucidate the effects of inflammatory responses on the risk of developing cardiac conduction disorders.METHODS:
After the exclusion of participants failing to meet the inclusion criteria, 86,234 eligible participants (mean age 50.57 ± 11.88 years) were included. The participants were divided into high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) ≤ 3 mg/L, and hsCRP > 3 mg/L groups based on hsCRP values. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the relationship between inflammatory responses and various cardiac conduction disorders.RESULTS:
After adjusting for confounding factors, we observed that compared with the hsCRP ≤ 3 mg/L group, the hsCRP > 3 mg/L group exhibited increased risks of atrioventricular block (hazard ratio [HR]1.64, 95%confidence interval [CI] 1.44-1.87) and left (HR1.25, 95% CI 1.07-1.45) and right bundle branch block (HR1.31, 95% CI 1.17-1.47). Moreover, the risk of various cardiac conduction disorders increased for every 1 standard deviation increase in log (hsCRP). The restricted cubic spline function confirmed a linear relationship between log (hsCRP) and the risk of developing cardiac conduction disorders (All nonlinearity P > 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
High hsCRP levels are an independent risk factor for cardiac conduction disorders, and hsCRP levels are dose-dependently associated with the risk of conduction disorders. Our study results may provide new strategies for preventing cardiac conduction disorders.Palabras clave
