Abstract in Portuguese
As extrassístoles são achados frequentes em pacientes ambulatoriais, o que suscita o interesse em avaliar o seu significado clínico e fatores associados. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar as variáveis relacionadas com a presença de extrassístoles identificadas em pacientes ambulatoriais selecionados ao terem recebido a indicação de eletrocardiograma de rotina na rede básica de saúde. Foi realizado estudo transversal com 407 pacientes (idade média 55,8 anos ± 12 anos, 56% mulheres) encaminhados de Unidades Básicas de Saúde para o Hospital Municipal Doutor Fernando Mauro Pires da Rocha para realização de eletrocardiograma de repouso. Os participantes foram submetidos a questionário, exame físico, exames laboratoriais, ecocardiograma e monitorização eletrocardiográfica ambulatorial de 24 horas, a qual foi empregada para categorizar a frequência de extrassístoles. Depois de análise descritiva e exploratória, a regressão logística foi utilizada para avaliar as associações entre as variáveis. Extrassístoles supraventriculares ( >= 4/hora) se relacionaram com a idade (razão de chances 1,030; intervalo de confiança 95% 1,002 - 1,059; p=0,029), níveis de peptídeos natriuréticos > 20mg/dL (razão de chances 4,489; intervalo de confiança 95% 1,918 - 10,507; p=0.0005), bloqueios intraventriculares (razão de chances 4,184; intervalo de confiança 95% 1,861 - 9,406; p=0,0005) e diâmetro de átrio esquerdo (razão de chances 1,065; intervalo de confiança 95% 1,001 - 1,134; p=0,046). Extrassístoles ventriculares ( >= 5/hora) se associaram com a idade (razão de chances 1,032; intervalo de confiança 95% 1,010 - 1,054; p=0,004), uso de bloqueadores de canais de cálcio (razão de chances 2,248; intervalo de confiança 95% 1,019 - 4,954; p=0,045), níveis de peptídeos natriuréticos > 20mg/dL (razão de chances 2,079; intervalo de confiança 95% 1,062 - 4,068; p=0,033), taxas de HDL-colesterol (razão de chances 0,971; intervalo de confiança 95% 0,951 - 0,992; p=0,007), frequência cardíaca no eletrocardiograma (razão de chances 1,019; intervalo de confiança 95% 1,001 - 1,038; p=0,041), hipertrofia ventricular esquerda (razão de chances 2,292; intervalo de confiança 95% 1,402 - 3,746; p=0,001) e fração de ejeção ventricular esquerda (razão de chances 0,938; intervalo de confiança 95% 0,900 - 0,978; p=0,002). Na população estudada, os batimentos prematuros foram achados recorrentes e de baixa densidade na eletrocardiografia dinâmica de 24 horas. Extrassístoles mais frequentes se associaram a níveis de peptídeos natriuréticos > 20mg/dL e taxas mais baixas de HDL-colesterol; além disso, foi identificada maior dilatação atrial e hipertrofia ventricular no ecocardiograma dos pacientes com esse achado, sugerindo acometimento de órgão alvo decorrente de hipertensão arterial não controlada. Portanto, a detecção de extrassístoles frequentes na monitorização eletrocardiográfica de 24 horas, em pacientes acompanhados no nível de atenção primária, reitera as recomendações dirigidas principalmente para os cuidados com os fatores de risco associados com a sua presença

Abstract in English
Premature complexes are common findings in outpatients; thus, it is important to evaluate their clinical significance and related factors. The aim of our study was to examine the variables associated with premature beats identified in outpatients who were followed by general practitioners in a primary public healthcare setting. We performed a cross-sectional study of 407 outpatients (mean age: 55.8±12 years; 56% women) who were referred from Basic Health Units to Doctor Fernando Mauro Pires da Rocha Municipal Hospital to perform a resting 12-lead electrocardiogram for clinical follow-up. They answered a questionnaire and submitted the physical examination, fasting laboratory testing, transthoracic echocardiogram and 24-hour Holter monitoring, which were used to categorize the frequency of premature complexes. After the univariate analysis, logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the independent association among the variables. Premature atrial complexes ( >= 4/hour) were associated with age (odds ratio 1.030; confidence interval 95% 1.002 - 1.059; p=0.029), peptide natriuretic levels > 20mg/dL (odds ratio 4.489; confidence interval 95% 1.918 - 10.507; p=0.0005), intraventricular blocks (odds ratio 4.184; confidence interval 95% 1.861 - 9.406; p=0.0005) and left atrium diameter (odds ratio 1.065; confidence interval 95% 1.001 - 1.134; p=0.046). Premature ventricular complexes ( >= 5/hour) were associated with age (odds ratio 1.032; confidence interval 95% 1.010 - 1.054; p=0.004), the use of calcium channels blockers (odds ratio 2.248; confidence interval 95% 1.019 - 4.954; p=0.045), peptide natriuretic levels > 20mg/dL (odds ratio 2.079; confidence interval 95% 1.062 - 4.068; p=0.033), HDL-cholesterol levels (odds ratio 0.971; confidence interval 95% 0.951 - 0.992; p=0.007), heart rate (odds ratio 1.019; confidence interval 95% 1.001 - 1.038; p=0.041), left ventricle hypertrophy (odds ratio 2.292; confidence interval 95% 1.402 - 3.746; p=0.001) and left ventricle ejection fraction (odds ratio 0.938; confidence interval 95% 0.900 - 0.978; p=0.002). In our population, premature complexes were common findings on 24-hour Holter monitoring, but of low density. Frequent ectopic beats were associated with peptide natriuretic levels > 20mg/dL and lower levels of HDL-cholesterol; left atrial enlargement and ventricular hypertrophy were also identified on the echocardiograms of these patients, suggesting that target organ damage was due to uncontrolled arterial hypertension. Therefore, the identification of frequent premature complexes on 24-hour Holter monitor recording of outpatients in a primary public healthcare setting reaffirms the need for monitoring for the risk factors associated with this finding
