ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the incidence, type, and predictors of asymptomatic relapse of atrial tachy-arrhythmia (ATa) after circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).METHODS:
Forty-eight consecutive patients with AF underwent CPVI and were followed up. Forty-eight hours Holter recording was performed 1, 3, and 6 months respectively after the initial CPVI procedure. Predictors of asymptomatic ATa relapse were determined by Logistic regression analysis for eight variables as follows age, gender, AF type, existence of organic heart disease, diameter of left atria, left ventricular ejection fraction, procedure time, and heart rate variability after the procedure.RESULTS:
Complete Holter data were acquired in 42 patients, 26 males and 16 females, aged 58 +/- 14, including 25 patients with paroxysmal AF and 17 with non-paroxysmal AF. The standard deviations of R-R interval (SDNN) of the non-paroxysmal AF group was 92 ms +/- 19 ms, significantly longer than that of the paroxysmal AF group (78 ms +/- 15 ms, P = 0.011). The incidence of asymptomatic ATa recurrence rates 1, 3 and 6 months after CPVI were 8%, 12%, and 8% respectively in paroxysmal AF group and 23.5%, 29.4%, and 35.3% respectively in the non-paroxysmal AF group. The incidence of asymptomatic ATa recurrence 6 months after CPVI in the non-paroxysmal AF group was significant higher than that in the paroxysmal AF group (P < 0.05). AF was the dominant arrhythmia among the asymptomatic recurrence ATa, while atrial tachycardia constituted the major arrhythmia of the symptomatic recurrent ATa.CONCLUSION:
(1) Asymptomatic ATa relapse is common among the patients undergoing CPVI. (2) The dominant type of asymptomatic recurrent arrhythmia is AF. (3) The independent predictors for asymptomatic ATa recurrence include non-paroxysmal AF, left atrial enlargement, and increase of SDNN.
