RESUMEN
Resumen Antecedentes El corazón pulmonar crónico (CPC) muestra un incremento en habitantes que viven en grandes altitudes.

Objetivo:

Investigar la frecuencia de arritmias cardíacas y factores de riesgo para su desarrollo.

Métodos:

Estudio descriptivo y transversal; se revisó el registro de pacientes internados del Departamento de Cardiología del Instituto Nacional de Tórax, La Paz, Bolivia, entre enero de 2017 y junio de 2018; se incorporó a todos los individuos con diagnóstico de CPC, definido por criterios clínicos, electrocardiográficos y ecocardiográficos; se incluyó a 162 pacientes que cumplieron los criterios en el análisis; se utilizaron la t de Student y ANOVA.

Resultados:

Arritmias fibrilación auricular (FA), 125 (75%); aleteo auricular (AA), 17 (10.5%); taquicardia auricular (TA), 17 (10.5%); extrasístoles, 3 (1.9%). Según el análisis univariado, los factores relacionados con el desarrollo de arritmias fueron eritrocitosis FA, RR 1.33, otras arritmias (RR 1.67), p = 0.0001; hipertensión arterial pulmonar FA, RR 3.10, otras arritmias (RR 3.21), p = 0.0001; dilatación de aurícula derecha (AD) FA, RR 1.92, otras arritmias (RR 2.13), p = 0.0001; obesidad FA, RR 3.47, p = 0.001, otras arritmias (RR 3.70), p = 0.001; hipertensión arterial sistémica FA, RR 3.10, p = 0.001, otras arritmias (RR 3.21), p = 0.001. Según el análisis multivariado eritrocitosis (RR 2.2), dilatación de AD (RR 1.2), p = 0.0001.

Conclusiones:

Se encontró FA con mayor frecuencia en los pacientes con CPC; los factores de riesgo con mayor significancia estadística para su presentación fueron la eritrocitosis y la dilatación de la AD.
ABSTRACT
Abstract

Background:

Chronic cor pulmonale (CPC), with increased presentation in high-altitude inhabitants.

Objectives:

Investigating the frequency of cardiac arrhythmias, and risk factors for its development.

Methods:

Descriptive, cross-sectional study, the inpatient registry of the Department of Cardiology of the National Institute of Torax, La Paz-Bolivia, from January 2017 to June 2018 was reviewed, all were incorporated with the diagnosis of CPC, defined by clinical criteria, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic, 162 patients who met the criteria were taken, the student's t-test and ANOVA were used for the analysis.

Results:

Arrhythmias atrial fibrillation (AF) 125 (75%), atrial flutter (AA) 17 (10.5%), atrial tachycardia (AT) 17 (10.5%), extrasystoles 3 (1.9%). Univariate analysis of factors related to the development of arrhythmias erythrocytosis FA, RR 1.33, other arrhythmias RR 1.67, p = 0.0001, pulmonary arterial hypertension FA, RR 3.10, other arrhythmias RR 3.21, p = 0.0001, right atrial dilation (AD) FA, RR 1.92, other arrhythmias RR 2.13, p = 0.0001, obesity FA, RR 3.47, p = 0.001, other arrhythmias RR 3.70, p = 0.001, systemic arterial hypertension FA RR 3.10, p = 0.001, other arrhythmias RR 3.21, p = 0.001. Multivariate

analysis:

erythrocytosis (RR 2.2), AD dilation (RR 1.2), p = 0.0001.

Conclusions:

AF was found more frequently in patients with CPC, the risk factors with the greatest statistical significance for presentation were erythrocytosis and AD dilation.
