Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between atrial premature complexes (APC) and Mediterranean diet score. Rhythm disturbances in the heart significantly affect the quality of life of the patients.
Material and Methods: This study was conducted on 50 patients with palpitations who were referred to the cardiology outpatient clinic and had more than 10000 APC per day as a result of a 24-hour holter, and 50 patients who presented with palpitations but had less than 10,000 APC in the holter. Diet quality was determined by scoring method (5, 6-9 and ≥10 points) ‘Mediterranean Diet Adaptation Scale’ and compared between groups.
Results: There was no difference between the two groups in terms of clinical and demographic characteristics. Mediterranean diet scores were found lower in patients with APC’s ≥10.000/day (p<0.001). A significant negative correlation was found between APC and Mediterranean diet score (p<0.001, r = -0.560).
Conclusion: The protective role of Mediterranean diet type nutrition on the frequency of APC was clearly observed in our study. This study, which is one of the limited numbers of studies examining the relationship between Mediterranean diet and APC, may be helpful in understanding the pathophysiology of APC.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, atriyal prematüre kompleksler (APC) ile Akdeniz diyeti skoru arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir. Kalpteki ritim bozuklukları hastaların yaşam kalitesini önemli ölçüde etkiler.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, çarpıntı şikayeti ile kardiyoloji polikliniğine başvuran ve 24 saatlik holter sonucu günde 10000 APC'nin üzerinde olan 50 hasta ile çarpıntı şikayeti ile başvuran ancak Holterde 10.000 APC altında olan hastalar 'Akdeniz Diyeti Uyum Ölçeği' ile diyet kalitesi puanlama yöntemi (5, 6-9 ve ≥10 puan) belirlendi ve gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: İki grup arasında klinik ve demografik özellikler açısından fark yoktu. APC ≥10.000/gün olan hastalarda Akdeniz diyeti skorları daha düşük bulundu (p<0.001). APC ile Akdeniz diyeti puanı arasında anlamlı bir negatif korelasyon bulundu (p<0.001, r = -0.560). Sonuç: Akdeniz diyeti tipi beslenmenin APC sıklığı üzerindeki koruyucu rolü çalışmamızda net bir şekilde gözlendi. Akdeniz diyeti ile APC ilişkisini inceleyen sınırlı sayıdaki çalışmalardan biri olan bu çalışma, APC'nin patofizyolojisinin anlaşılmasında yardımcı olabilir.
