Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 492 patients with T2D were recruited. Serum ADA levels were determined by venous blood during fasting. QTc interval was estimated from resting 12-lead ECGs, and prolonged QTc interval was defined as QTc > 440 ms. RESULTS: In this study, the prevalence of prolonged QTc interval was 22.8%. Serum ADA levels were positively associated with QTc interval (r = 0.324, P < 0.0001). The proportion of participants with prolonged QTc interval increased significantly from 9.2% in the first tertile (T1) to 24.7% in the second tertile (T2) and 39.0% in the third tertile (T3) of ADA (P for trend < 0.001). After adjusting for other possible risk factors by multiple linear regression analysis, serum ADA level was still significantly associated with QTc interval (β = 0.217, t = 3.400, P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR 5.084, CI 2.379-10.864, P < 0.001), insulin-sensitizers treatment (OR 4.229, CI 1.290-13.860, P = 0.017) and ADA (OR 1.212, CI 1.094-1.343, P < 0.001) were independent contributors to prolonged QTc interval. CONCLUSIONS: Serum ADA levels were independently associated with prolonged QTc interval in patients with T2D.
