Role of ideal cardiovascular health metrics in reducing risk of incident arrhythmias

Intermediate and ideal levels of cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics are associated with a markedly reduced risk of developing incident arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation/flutter, ventricular arrhythmias, and bradyarrhythmia, independent of coronary heart disease.A majority of incident arrhythmias could be prevented if the risk profile of the entire population was optimized.These findings emphasize the significance of public health policies that improve CVH to reduce the social and economic burden of arrhythmias.
