ABSTRACT
Background:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is frequently associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). We compared clinical, echocardiographic, and electrophysiological parameters between HCM subtypes and those without HCM at AF catheter ablation (AFCA) and analyzed post-AFCA reverse remodeling and AF recurrence based on HCM presence and subtype.Methods:
Among 5161 consecutive patients who underwent de novo AFCA, we included HCM patients and control patients who were age-, gender-, and AF type-matched. Between AF-HCM patients and controls, we compared baseline values for left atrium (LA) wall thickness (LAWT), reverse remodeling at 1-year follow-up, and procedural outcomes over the course of follow-up between two groups.Results:
A total of 122 AF-HCM patients and 318 control patients were included. AF-HCM patients had more frequent heart failure and higher LA diameter, E/Em, and LA pressure (all, p < .001). However, LAWT did not differ from control group. A year after AFCA, degree of LA reverse remodeling was significantly lower in AF-HCM than in control group (ΔLA dimension, p = .025). Nonapical HCM (HR 1.71; 95% CI 1.05-2.80), persistent AF (HR 1.46; 95% CI 1.05-2.04), and LA dimension (HR 1.04; 95% CI 1.01-1.06) were independent risk factors for AF recurrence. During 78.0 months of follow-up, nonapical HCM patients showed higher AF recurrence rate than both apical HCM (log-rank p = .005) and control patients (log-rank p = .002).Conclusions:
The presence of HCM, particularly nonapical HCM, displayed increased LA hemodynamic loading with diastolic dysfunction and had poorer rhythm outcomes after AFCA compared to both apical HCM and control group.
