ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
A growing body of evidence supports that the left atrium epicardial adipose tissue (LA-EAT) is related to the occurrence and recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF). The relationship between LA-EAT and the recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in patients with different types of AF is still unclear. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of LA-EAT on the recurrence of AF after RFCA in patients with different types of AF.METHODS:
301 AF patients who underwent RFCA for the first time were divided into the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) group (n = 181) and the persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF) group(n = 120), which were followed up at 3, 6, and 12 months. All patients underwent left atrial computed tomography angiography (CTA) examination before the operation, and LA-EAT was measured using software (Advantage Workstation4.6, GE, USA).RESULTS:
After a median follow-up of 10.7 months, 73/301 patients (24.25%) had a recurrence of AF, including 43 /120(35.83%) patients with PersAF and 30/181(16.57%) patients with PAF. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, LA-EAT volume (OR = 1.053;95%CI 1.024-1.083, p < 0.001), attenuation (OR = 0.949;95%CI0.911-0.988, p = 0.012) and left atrial diameter (LAD) (OR = 1.063;95%CI1.002-1.127ï¼p = 0.043) were independent risk factors for recurrence in patients with PersAF but not in patients with PAF.CONCLUSION:
LA-EAT volume and attenuation are independent risk factors for recurrence after RFCA in patients with PersAF.Palavras-chave
