Risk of Heart Disease in Patients With Amputation: A Nationwide Cohort Study in South Korea.
Journal of the American Heart Association(2024)
摘要
BACKGROUND:Amputation confers disabilities upon patients and is linked to substantial morbidity and death attributed to heart disease. While some studies have focused on traumatic amputees in veterans, few studies have focused on traumatic amputees within the general population. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the risk of heart disease in patients with traumatic amputation with disability within the general population using a large-scale nationwide population-based cohort.
METHODS AND RESULTS:We used data from the Korean National Health Insurance System. A total of 22 950 participants with amputation were selected with 1:3 age, sex-matched controls between 2010 and 2018. We used Cox proportional hazard models to calculate the risk of myocardial infarction, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation among amputees. Participants with amputation had a higher risk of myocardial infarction (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.30 [95% CI, 1.14-1.47]), heart failure (aHR, 1.27 [95% CI, 1.17-1.38]), and atrial fibrillation (aHR, 1.17 [95% CI, 1.03-1.33]). The risks of myocardial infarction and heart failure were further increased by the presence of disability (aHR, 1.43 [95% CI, 1.04-1.95]; and aHR, 1.38 [95% CI, 1.13-1.67], respectively).
CONCLUSIONS:We demonstrate an increased risk of myocardial infarction, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation among individuals with amputation, and the risk further increased in those with disabilities. Clinicians should pay attention to the increased risk for heart disease in patients with amputation.
