Analysis of risk factors that affect type 2 diabetic arrhythmia

Abstract

Objective To investigate risk factors that affect type 2 diabetic cardiac arrhythmia. Methods Clinical data of 292 diabetic patients who were performed examination of low limb vascular were analyzed retrospectively. Based on electrocardiogram, the patients were divided into cardiac arrhythmia group and non-cardiac arrhythmia group with case-control study, and the clinical data and evaluation indexes of lower extremity vascular disease were compared between two groups. Results Data comparison between two groups indicated age [(59±14)years vs (54±12)years], symptoms of low limbs [40.7% vs 29.0%] had statistical significance (P 0.05). Age, gender, history of high blood pressure, symptoms of low limbs, and heat- controlled laser Doppler were analyzed with multiple logistic regression, which indicated that age was risk factor of type 2 diabetic arrhythmia. Conclusions Age is correlated with type 2 diabetic arrhythmia, and evaluation indexes of lower limb vascular disease have no significant correlation with type 2 diabetic arrhythmia.
