A link between gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and coronary heart disease has been suggested.
To estimate the incidence of myocardial infarction in patients with newly diagnosed gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in comparison with that in the general population.
A population-based cohort study was performed in the UK. Patients aged 18-79 years with a first diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (n = 7084) were identified and a group of 10,000 patients free of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease were sampled. A nested case-control analysis was performed to assess the risk factors for myocardial infarction.
The incidence of myocardial infarction in the general population was 4.0 per 1,000 person-years [95% confidence interval (CI), 3.2-4.9] and 5.1 per 1,000 person-years (95% CI, 4.1-6.4) in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. The relative risk of myocardial infarction in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease was 1.4 (95% CI, 1.0-1.9). The increased risk of myocardial infarction was limited to the immediate days after the diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Previous chest pain was an important predictor of myocardial infarction in patients free of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. No association was found between the use of acid-suppressing drugs and the risk of myocardial infarction.
Our results suggest that gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is not an independent predictor of myocardial infarction. Rather, the increased risk of myocardial infarction in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in the immediate days after diagnosis indicates that prodromal ischaemic symptoms were misinterpreted as reflux symptoms.
已有研究表明胃食管反流病与冠心病之间存在联系。
评估新诊断的胃食管反流病患者中心肌梗死的发病率,并与普通人群进行比较。
在英国开展了一项基于人群的队列研究。确定了年龄在18 - 79岁之间首次诊断为胃食管反流病的患者(n = 7084),并抽取了10000名无胃食管反流病的患者作为对照。进行巢式病例对照分析以评估心肌梗死的危险因素。
普通人群中心肌梗死的发病率为每1000人年4.0例[95%置信区间(CI),3.2 - 4.9],胃食管反流病患者为每1000人年5.1例(95% CI,4.1 - 6.4)。胃食管反流病患者发生心肌梗死的相对风险为1.4(95% CI,1.0 - 1.9)。心肌梗死风险的增加仅限于胃食管反流病诊断后的即刻。既往胸痛是无胃食管反流病患者发生心肌梗死的重要预测因素。未发现使用抑酸药物与心肌梗死风险之间存在关联。
我们的结果表明,胃食管反流病不是心肌梗死的独立预测因素。相反,胃食管反流病患者在诊断后即刻心肌梗死风险增加表明,前驱缺血症状被误诊为反流症状。
