Abstract
Background
Several studies have reported the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of AF in the IBD population.
Methods
We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed and Embase databases for relevant studies published up to February 2024. We used the random-effects model to pool the prevalence and incidence rates of AF among IBD patients. The subgroup analyses were performed according to the IBD type.
Results
A total of twenty-five studies were included. The pooled prevalence of AF among IBD patients was 6.23 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 4.99 %−7.47 %). The incidence rate of AF among IBD patients was 3.53 % (95 % CI: 0.57 %−6.48 %). The risk of developing AF in IBD patients was 1.45 times higher than that in the general population (risk ratio [RR]: 1.45, 95 % CI: 1.21–1.73). When comparing specific IBD types to the general population, the RR was 1.35 (95 % CI: 1.11–1.64) for CD and 1.17 (95 % CI: 1.11–1.23) for UC.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that IBD patients exhibit an increased risk of developing AF compared to the general population. CD patients have a higher AF incidence compared to UC patients.
期刊介绍:
IJC Heart & Vasculature is an online-only, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original articles and reviews (also Editorials and Letters to the Editor) which report on structural and functional cardiovascular pathology, with an emphasis on imaging and disease pathophysiology. Articles must be authentic, educational, clinically relevant, and original in their content and scientific approach. IJC Heart & Vasculature requires the highest standards of scientific integrity in order to promote reliable, reproducible and verifiable research findings. All authors are advised to consult the Principles of Ethical Publishing in the International Journal of Cardiology before submitting a manuscript. Submission of a manuscript to this journal gives the publisher the right to publish that paper if it is accepted. Manuscripts may be edited to improve clarity and expression.
