Abstract

To investigate the relationships between trace elements concentrations in hair and atrial fibrillation (AF) in horses, concentrations of nineteen trace elements were detected in hair using the particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method. The horses were assigned to either control (n=22, no abnormalities) or AF groups (n=5) based on electrocardiograph findings. The mean concentrations of Ca and Zn in the hair of the AF group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The Zn/Cu ratio of the hair in the AF group (29.8 +/- 5.5) was significantly higher than that in the control group (23.4 +/- 2.2, P<0.05). The results of the present study suggest that there is a relationship between elevated concentrations of Ca and Zn in hair and AF.

摘要

为了研究马毛发中微量元素浓度与心房颤动（AF）之间的关系，采用粒子诱导X射线发射（PIXE）法检测了毛发中19种微量元素的浓度。根据心电图检查结果，将马分为对照组（n = 22，无异常）或房颤组（n = 5）。房颤组毛发中钙和锌的平均浓度显著高于对照组。房颤组毛发的锌/铜比值（29.8 +/- 5.5）显著高于对照组（23.4 +/- 2.2，P<0.05）。本研究结果表明，毛发中钙和锌浓度升高与房颤之间存在关联。
