The spectrum and prevalence of arrhythmia in different clinical pulmonary hypertension groups in Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arrhythmia is not uncommon among pulmonary hypertension (PH) population, and may be associated with disease severity.

Hypothesis

To investigate different spectrums and prevalence of arrhythmias in different clinical PH groups in Chinese population.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with PH between April 15, 2019, and August 2, 2021, were enrolled prospectively. The prevalence of different types of arrhythmias in PH patients were calculated. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine independent predictors for arrhythmia.
