To contextualize obesity rates in young sudden cardiac death (SCD) against the age-matched national population, and identify clinical and pathologic features in WHO class II and III obesity.
A prospective state-wide out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry included all SCDs in Victoria, Australia from 2019-2021. Body mass indices (BMIs) of patients 18-50 years were compared to age-referenced general population. Characteristics of SCD patients with WHO Class II obesity (BMI ≥30kg/m) and non-obesity (BMI<30kg/m) were compared. Clinical characteristics of people with BMI>50kg/m were assessed.
504 patients were included. Obesity was strongly over-represented in young SCD compared to the age-matched general population (55.0% vs 28.7%, p<0.0001). Obese SCD patients more frequently had hypertension, diabetes and obstructive sleep apnoea (p<0.0001, p=0.009 and p=0.001 respectively), ventricular fibrillation as their arrest rhythm (p=0.008) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (p<0.0001). Obese patients were less likely to have toxicology positive for illicit substances (22.0% vs 32.6%, p=0.008) or history of alcohol abuse (18.8% vs 26.9%, p=0.030). Patients with BMI>50 kg/m represented 8.5% of young SCD. LVH (n=26, 60.5%) was their predominant cause of death and only 10 (9.3%) patients died from coronary disease.
Over half of young Australian SCD patients are obese, with all obesity classes over-represented compared to the general population. Obese patients had more cardiac risk factors. Almost two thirds of patients with BMI>50 kg/m died from LVH, with fewer than 10% dying from coronary disease.
将年轻心脏性猝死(SCD)患者的肥胖率与年龄匹配的全国人口情况进行对比,并确定世界卫生组织(WHO)II级和III级肥胖患者的临床和病理特征。
一项全州范围内的院外心脏骤停前瞻性登记研究纳入了2019年至2021年澳大利亚维多利亚州所有的心脏性猝死病例。将18至50岁患者的体重指数(BMI)与年龄匹配的普通人群进行比较。对比WHO II级肥胖(BMI≥30kg/m²)和非肥胖(BMI<30kg/m²)的心脏性猝死患者的特征。评估BMI>50kg/m²人群的临床特征。
共纳入504例患者。与年龄匹配的普通人群相比,肥胖在年轻心脏性猝死患者中所占比例过高(55.0%对28.7%,p<0.0001)。肥胖的心脏性猝死患者更常患有高血压、糖尿病和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(分别为p<0.0001、p=0.009和p=0.001),心脏骤停节律为心室颤动(p=0.008)以及左心室肥厚(LVH)(p<0.0001)。肥胖患者非法物质毒理学检测呈阳性的可能性较小(22.0%对32.6%,p=0.008)或有酒精滥用史的可能性较小(18.8%对26.9%,p=0.030)。BMI>50kg/m²的患者占年轻心脏性猝死患者的8.5%。左心室肥厚(n=26,60.5%)是其主要死因,仅有10例(9.3%)患者死于冠状动脉疾病。
超过一半的澳大利亚年轻心脏性猝死患者肥胖,与普通人群相比,所有肥胖等级的比例均过高。肥胖患者有更多的心脏危险因素。几乎三分之二的BMI>50kg/m²患者死于左心室肥厚,死于冠状动脉疾病的患者不到10%。
