Little is known about the relationship between homocysteine (Hcy) levels and the QT interval. We examined the association of different Hcy levels with corrected QT (QTc) intervals in a general population.
Plasma levels of Hcy were assessed in a population-based study of 7002 participants 35 years of age and older from 2012 to 2013. Twelve-lead ECGs were performed on all participants and analyzed automatically.
The distribution of Hcy levels was determined for an entire population after the data were grouped into quartiles (Q1: <=11.1umol/L; Q2: 11.1-13.8umol/L; Q3: 13.8-18.2 umol/L; Q4 > 18.2 umol/L). The mean value of the QTc interval in each quartile was 433.2 ± 23.8 ms, 430.0 ± 24.6 ms, 429.2 ± 24.5 ms and 430.6 ± 25.7 ms. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that, compared with the second quartile, and after fully adjusting for potential confounding factors, the odds for QTc > 440 ms in the first and fourth quartile increased (P < 0.05), (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.05-1.43 for Q1; OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.19-1.65 for Q4).
QTc interval was associated with the Hcy level in this general population.
关于同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)水平与QT间期之间的关系,目前所知甚少。我们在普通人群中研究了不同Hcy水平与校正QT(QTc)间期之间的关联。
在一项基于人群的研究中,对2012年至2013年7002名35岁及以上参与者的血浆Hcy水平进行了评估。对所有参与者进行了12导联心电图检查并自动分析。
将数据分为四分位数后(Q1:<=11.1umol/L;Q2:11.1 - 13.8umol/L;Q3:13.8 - 18.2umol/L;Q4 > 18.2umol/L),确定了整个人群中Hcy水平的分布。每个四分位数中QTc间期的平均值分别为433.2±23.8ms、430.0±24.6ms、429.2±24.5ms和430.6±25.7ms。多因素逻辑回归分析显示,与第二四分位数相比,在对潜在混杂因素进行充分校正后,第一和第四四分位数中QTc>440ms的几率增加(P<0.05),(Q1的OR:1.23,95%CI:1.05 - 1.43;Q4的OR:1.40,95%CI:1.19 - 1.65)。
在该普通人群中,QTc间期与Hcy水平相关。
