- Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) are chronic inflammatory bowel diseases that can affect heart rhythms, with studies indicating a risk for serious cardiac arrhythmias in adult IBD patients.
- A study involving 36 pediatric patients with IBD (UC and CD) and 36 matched controls evaluated heart electrical activity through electrocardiograms, finding significantly longer P-wave and QT interval dispersion in IBD patients.
- The research suggests that children with IBD, even in remission, may be at risk for serious heart rhythm problems over time, highlighting the importance of monitoring these patients.
