Antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) are serum autoantibodies specific to primary biliary cholangitis and are linked to myopathy and myocardial damage; however, the presence of AMA as a risk factor for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTs) has remained unknown. This study aimed to elucidate whether the presence of AMA-related noncardiac diseases indicates VTs risk.This cohort study enrolled 1,613 patients (883 females) who underwent AMA testing to assess noncardiac diseases. The incidence of VTs and supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (SVTs) from a year before the AMA testing to the last visit of the follow-up were retrospectively investigated as primary and secondary objectives. Using propensity score matching, we extracted AMA-negative patients whose covariates were matched to those of 152 AMA-positive patients. In this propensity score-matched cohort, the incidence of VTs and SVTs in the AMA-positive patients were compared with that in AMA-negative patients.The AMA-positive patients had higher estimated cumulative incidence (log-rank, P = 0.013) and prevalence (5.9% versus 0.7%, P = 0.020) of VTs than the AMA-negative patients. The presence of AMA was an independent risk factor for VTs (hazard ratio, 4.02; 95% CI, 1.44-20.01; P = 0.005). Meanwhile, AMA were associated with atrial flutter and atrial tachycardia development. In AMA-positive patients, VTs were associated with male sex, underlying myopathy, high creatine kinase levels, presence of chronic heart failure or ischemic heart disease, left ventricular dysfunction, presence of SVTs, and the electrocardiographic parameters indicating atrial disorders.The presence of AMA-related noncardiac diseases is an independent risk factor for VTs.
