Abstract

Background: In spite of growing suggestion of a mutual connection among bone and heart health, the association among bone mineral density (BMD) and chronic cardiac arrhythmia remains insufficiently studied., Aim and objectives; was to investigate BMD among cases with chronic cardiac arrhythmias especially Atrial fibrillation (AF) (the commonest chronic cardiac arrhythmia) , its medications, Subjects and methods; This was a case-control study carried out at Outpatient clinics and Inpatient of Cardiology and Rheumatology Rehabilitation Departments of Al Hussein and Bab El Sharia University Hospitals- Al-Azhar University – Cairo from March 2021 till October 2021, Result; a highly significant change was found among Vit-D and T score (AP spine, Lt Femur and Lt Forearm) in study group, a highly significant change was found among disorder duration and T score (AP spine, Lt Femur and Lt Forearm) and Vit-D in study group. Conclusion; Cases with AF were at an elevated risk of osteoporotic fractures than were cases with no AF in this work.
