| Popis: | Background In Europe, the mortality secundary to ischemic heart disease is an important cause of death among women. Rhythm disorders are frequently encountered in the context of this pathology. The aim of the study is to evaluate the profile of rhythm disorders in women with microvascular and obstructive coronary heart disease. Materials and methods We included in the study a number of 150 patients with ischemic heart disease documented by coronary angiography, with an average age of 63.24 ± 10.09 years, admited in the Cardiology Department of the Clinical Rehabilitation Hospital, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The diagnosis of ischemic heart disease was established according to the recommendations of the 2019 ESC guideline. Results 66.6% of patients presented with microvascular angina, and 33.33% with obstructive coronary heart disease. Women with microvascular angina were younger (61.07 ± 9.68 vs. 67.60 ± 9.55 years). Atrial arrhythmias were the most frequent arrhythmias diagnosed - 64.66%. The percentage of rhythm disorders was similar in the two groups, without statistically significant differences: atrial fibrillation (21 vs. 22%), other supraventricular arrhythmias (39 vs. 52%), ventricular extrasystoles (42 vs. 44%), sustained/nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (4 vs. 4%). This finding shows us that not only obstructive coronary artery disease, but also microvascular angina presents an arrhythmogenic risk. At the same time, there were no significant differences regarding the administration of antiarrhythmics, namely amiodarone and betablockers in the two forms of ischemic heart disease. Conclusions Women with microvascular angina present significant arrhythmias, therefore they must be carefully evaluated and treated accordingly. |
