Metabolic Status and Atrioventricular Block Risk: The Role of Physical Activity
Generally, in the middle-aged population, metabolically unhealthy participants had a statistically significantly higher risk of second- or third-degree AVB and AVB-related pacemaker implantation than metabolically healthy participants. However, MVPA reduced the risk of second- or third-degree AVB in the metabolically unhealthy participants, though the effect was attenuated with excessive MVPA. From this perspective, identifying and encouraging exercise in metabolically unhealthy individuals is essential. Due to its observational nature, future research should verify the preventive effects of increased MVPA on conduction block in populations with metabolic abnormalities through randomized controlled trials. Moreover, the biological mechanisms and safety of the protective effects of excessive MVPA require further verification.
