Evaluation Of Atrial Fibrillation Burden Before Catheter Ablation Predicts Outcome After Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Background

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is defined as recurrent AF terminating spontaneously within 7 days. This definition allows the consideration of any AF occurrence lasting < 7 days as paroxysmal, irrespective of the frequency and duration of episodes. The aim of this study was to investigate symptomatic AF burden (AFB) defined as total duration of symptomatic AF episodes within 3 months prior to abalation, for prediction of outcome after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

Methods

A total of 320 consecutive patients with symptomatic AF (PAF=244, men=214, age=58 y) were enrolled. AFB in patients with PAF was defined as time spent in AF within 3 months prior to PVI. After the AFB cut-off point was optimized at 500 h, patients with PAF were categorized into 2 groups: Group 1 - patients with AFB< 500 h (n=192), Group 2 - patients with AFB≥ 500 h (n=52). Patients with persistent AF (PersAF, n = 76) comprised control group (Group 3). PVI was performed either with irrigated tip catheter (n=215) or using cryoballoon (n=105). The endpoint of study was first documented recurrence of AF >30 sec.

Results

Symptomatic AFB was found to be appropriate for prediction of outcome after PVI. The freedom from AF within 2 years was observed in 69%, 31%, and 43% patients in Group 1, 2 and 3, respectively (Group 1 vs. Group 2, p < .001; Group 1 vs. Group 3, p< .001; Group 2 vs. Group 3, p = 0.46).

Conclusions

Low AFB < 500 h /3 months was associated with better outcome after PVI. Patients with PAF and high AFB should be treated as patients with PersAF.     

冠状动脉旁路移植术后心房颤动的危险因素分析

目的:分析冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)后心房颤动(AF)的危险因素,为CABG后AF的预防和治疗提供参考依据.方法:回顾性分析我院2006年8月至2009年10月收集的112例CABG患者的临床及相关资料,根据CABG后3d内是否出现AF持续5 min以上将患者分为AF组和非AF组.采用单因素和多因素分析方法探讨CABG后AF的危险因素.结果:112例患者,有24例符合CABG后AF标准,AF的发生率为21.4%.AF组和非AF组的年龄分别为(67.8±7.2)岁和(63.3±6.8)岁(P＜0.05);AF组中男性比例91.7%高于非AF组男性比例68.2%(P＜0.05).单因素分析结果显示,年龄、性别、高血压史、左主干病变、二尖瓣反流、病变支数、射血分数和左心房前后径是CABG后AF的危险因素.采用logistic回归分析控制各因素的交互作用后,CABG后AF的危险因素主要有:年龄、高血压、左主干病变、二尖瓣反流、EF＜49%和左心房大小其中影响最大的是左心房大小,左心房前后径＞35mm的患者发生CABG后AF是＜34mm的2.88倍.结论:CABG后AF的发生与年龄、高血压史、左主干病变、二尖瓣反流、EF及左心房大小等多个因素有关.对具有这些特征的患者,在CABG前应预防性地采用抗心律失常药进行治疗,以预防AF的发生.     

血清BNP、Gal-3联合左房容积指数对非体外循环冠状动脉搭桥术患者术后新发房颤的预测效能分析

摘要 目的：探讨血清B型脑钠肽（BNP）、半乳糖凝集素-3（Gal-3）联合左房容积指数（LAVI）对非体外循环冠状动脉搭桥术（OPCAB）患者术后新发房颤的预测效能。方法：选择2020年1月至2022年1月我院心血管外科收治的196例拟行OPCAB患者,根据术后住院期间是否新发房颤将患者分为新发房颤组（36例）和非新发房颤组（160例）。检测两组血清BNP、Gal-3水平和LAVI,收集所有患者的临床资料。采用多因素Logistic回归分析OPCAB患者术后新发房颤的影响因素。受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线分析BNP、Gal-3及LAVI预测OPCAB患者术后新发房颤的效能。结果：新发房颤组血清BNP、Gal-3水平及LAVI高于非新发房颤组（P＜0.05）。术后IABP辅助、年龄偏大、高水平BNP、高水平Gal-3、高LAVI是OPCAB患者术后新发房颤的危险因素（P＜0.05）。联合BNP、Gal-3和 LAVI预测OPCAB患者术后新发房颤的曲线下面积为0.872,高于BNP、Gal-3、LAVI单独检测的0.773、0.711、0.766。结论：OPCAB术后新发房颤患者血清BNP、Gal-3水平和LAVI均升高,上述指标均可辅助性预测OPCAB患者术后新发房颤的风险,且联合检测的预测效能更高。     

Electrophysiological Changes Preceding the Onset of Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Bypass Grafting Surgery

Background

The incidence of Post-CABG atrial fibrillation (AF) lies between 25% and 40%. It worsens morbidity and raises post-operative costs. Detection of incoming AF soon enough for prophylactic intervention would be helpful. The study is to investigate the electrophysiological changes preceding the onset of AF and their relationship to the preoperative risk.

Methods and Results

Patients were recorded continuously for the first four days after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) with three unipolar electrodes sutured to the atria (AEG). The patients experiencing an AF lasting more than 10 minutes were selected and the two hours before the onset were analyzed. Four variables were found to show significant changes in the two hours prior to the first prolonged AF: increasing rate of premature atrial activation, increasing incidence of short transient arrhythmias, acceleration of heart rate, and rise of low frequency content of heart rate. The main contrast was between the first and last hour before AF onset. Preoperative risk was not predictive of the onset time of AF and did not correlate with the amplitude of changes prior to AF.

Conclusions

Post-CABG AF were preceded by electrophysiological changes occurring in the last hour before the onset of the arrhythmia, whereas none of these changes was found to occur in all AF patients. The risk was a weighted sum of factors related to the density of premature activations and the state of atrial substrate reflected by the sinus rhythm and its frequency content prior to AF. Preoperative risk score seems unhelpful in setting a detection threshold for the AF onset.

Measurement of Left Atrial Pressure is a Good Predictor of Freedom From Atrial Fibrillation

Background

It is suggested that an elevated left atrial pressure (LAP) promotes ectopic beats emanating in the pulmonary veins (PVs) and that LAP might be a marker for structural remodeling. This study aimed to identify if the quantification of LAP correlates with structural changes of the LA and may therefore be associated with outcomes following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

Methods

We analysed data from 120 patients, referred to PVI due to drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) (age 63±8; 57% men). The maximum (mLAP) and mean LAP (meLAP) were measured after transseptal puncture.

Results and Conclusions

Within a mean follow-up of 303±95 days, 60% of the patients maintained in sinus rhythm after the initial procedure and 78% after repeated PVI. Performing univariate Cox-regression analysis, type of AF, LA-volume (LAV), mLAP and the meLAP were significant predictors of recurrence after PVI (p=0.03; p=0.001; p=0.01). In multivariate analysis mLAP>18mmHg, LAV>100 ml and the presence of persistent AF were significant predictors (p=0.001; p=0.019; p=0.017). The mLAP >18 mmHg was associated with a hazard ratio of 3.8. Analyzing receiver-operator characteristics, the area under the curve for mLAP was 0.75 (p<0.01). mLAP >18 mmHg predicts recurrence with a sensitivity of 77 % and specificity of 60 %. There was a linear correlation between the LAV from MDCT and mLAP (p = 0.01, R2 = 0.61). The mLAP measured invasively displays a significant predictor for AF recurrence after PVI. There is a good correlation between LAP and LAV and both factors may be useful to quantify LA remodeling.

Cryoballoon Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Septuagenarians: a Prospective Study

Aims

To evaluate the effects of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in terms of feasibility, safety and success rate on a midterm follow-up period in septuagenarians undergoing ablation with the Arctic Front Cryoballoon for atrial fibrillation (AF).

Methods and Results

We prospectively enrolled 21 patients aged 70 years or older (14 male; age 73 ± 2.5 years) elected to circumferential PVI with the 28mm cryoballoon for symptomatic drug resistant paroxysmal AF. A total number of 82 pulmonary veins (PV) were evidenced. Successful isolation could be obtained in all 82 (100%) PV ostia at the end of procedure. No major complication occurred during procedure. At a mean follow-up of 11.5 ± 4.7 months following ablation, 62% of patients did not present recurrence of atrial arrhythmias.

Conclusion

Cryoballoon ablation may be feasible and safe in older patients. Moreover a large proportion of the latter did not present AF recurrence during follow-up.     

Successful ablation of biatrial tachycardia with preserved electrical activation of left atrial appendage by unidirectional connection via Bachmann’s bundle: A case report

A 57-year-old man underwent his seventh ablation session for atrial tachycardia (AT). His previous ablations involved several regions of the right atrium (RA) and left atrium (LA). The AT was characterized as biatrial tachycardia with a circuit involving the mitral annulus and septal RA. The AT was terminated by ablation through the insertion site of Bachmann’s bundle (BB) in both atria. After 3 months, the patient underwent his eighth ablation session because of AT recurrence. Activation maps showed that the connection from the RA to LA and vice versa was maintained via BB and the coronary sinus, respectively. The ablation target to interrupt the AT circuit was the mitral isthmus (MI), not BB, because BB supplied the electrical activation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) via a unidirectional electrical connection from the RA to LA. Ablation attempts from within the coronary sinus were performed to target the epicardial connection in the MI and led to complete blockage of the connection from the LA to RA. Otherwise, the connection from the RA to LA was preserved via BB. The patient was free of symptoms and anti-arrhythmic drugs at the 4-month follow-up. However, he had a high risk of electrical isolation of the LAA because extensive ablations had been performed; the strategy of targeting the MI contributed to the balance between preserving the electrical activation of the LAA and treating the biatrial tachycardia. Verification of the connective pathway between the two atria might be helpful to determine the optimal target.     

Statins Do Not Reduce Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Valvular Surgery: A Single Centre Observational Study

Introduction

Statins may theoretically reduce postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients after cardiac valvular surgery due to preservation of endothelial function and anti-ischaemic, anti-inflammatory and anti-remodelling effects.

Methods

Two hundred seventy-two patients who underwent cardiac workup and subsequently cardiac valvular surgery without AF and concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at our hospital were selected. Preoperative drug use and postoperative AF were recorded. AF was defined as any episode of AF longer than 10 s. In addition, results from echocardiography and blood samples were retrieved.

Results

Baseline characteristics were as follows: mean age was 65 ± 11 years, 142 (52%) patients were male, 189 (70%) had undergone aortic valve surgery and the mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 57 ± 12%. Statins were used by 79 patients (29%). Statin users, more often, had a prior percutaneous coronary intervention (25% vs 9%, p < 0.001) or CABG (24% vs 4%, p < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (22% vs 5%, p < 0.001) and more often used β-blockers (51% vs 24%, p < 0.001). Patients in the non-statin group more often had surgery on more than one valve (10% vs 3%, p = 0.043) and had a higher cholesterol level (222 ± 48 vs 190 ± 43 mg/dl, p < 0.001). Postoperative AF occurred in 54% (43/79) of the patients with and in 55% (106/193) of the patients without statins (p = 0.941). There was also no difference in the timing of onset of AF or duration of hospital stay.

Conclusion

In this observational study, statin use was not associated with a reduced incidence of AF in patients after cardiac valvular surgery.     

心外膜脂肪组织与心房颤动的分子机制研究进展

心房颤动(atrial fibrillation,AF)是临床上常见的心律失常,与心血管疾病的发病率和死亡率增加相关.心外膜脂肪组织(epicardial adipose tissue,EAT)是具有重要内分泌功能的生物活性器官.近年来已有大量的研究显示EAT的体积、厚度与AF的发生、严重程度及复发相关,但EAT在AF发病机理中的确切作用尚需进一步阐明,为通过干预EAT来治疗AF提供新思路.

Atrial Fibrillation and Beta Thalassemia Major: The Predictive Role of the 12-lead Electrocardiogram Analysis

Background

Paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias frequently occur in beta-thalassemia major (β-TM) patients.The aim of our study was to investigate the role of maximum P-wave duration (P max) and dispersion (PD), calculated trough a new manually performed measurement with the use of computer software from all 12-ECG-leads,as predictors of atrial-fibrillation (AF) in β-TM patients with conserved systolic or diastolic cardiac function during a twelve-months follow-up.

Materials and Methods

50 β-TM-patients (age38.4±10.1; 38M) and 50-healthy subjects used as controls, matched for age and gender, were studied for the occurrence of atrial arrhythmias during a 1-year follow-up, through ECG-Holter-monitoring performed every three months. The β-TM-patients were divided into two groups according to number and complexity of premature-supraventricular-complexes at the Holter-Monitoring (Group1: <30/h and no repetitive forms, n:35; Group2: >30/h or couplets, or run of supraventricular tachycardia and AF, n:15).

Results

Compared to the healthy control-group, β-TM patients presented increased P-max (107.5± 21.2 vs 92.1±11ms, P=0.03) and PD-values (41.2±13 vs 25.1±5 ms,P=0.03). In the β-TM population, the Group2 showed a statistically significant increase in PD (42.8±8.6 vs 33.2±6.5ms, P<0.001) and P-max (118.1±8.7 vs 103.1±7.5ms, P<0.001) compared to the Group1. Seven β-TM patients who showed paroxysmal AF during this study had significantly increased P-max and PD than the other patients of the Group2. Moreover, P-max (OR:2.01; CI:1.12-3.59; P=0.01) and PD (OR=2.06;CI:1.17-3.64;P=0.01) demonstrated a statistically significant association with the occurrence of paroxysmal AF,P min was not associated with AF-risk (OR=0.99; CI:0.25-3.40; P=0.9) in β-TM-patients. A cut-off value of 111ms for P-max had a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 87%, a cut-off value of 35.5ms for PD had a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 85% in identifying β-TM patients at risk for AF.

Conclusion

Our results indicate that P-max and PD are useful electrocardiographic markers for identifying the β-TM-high-risk patients for AF onset, even when the cardiac function is conserved.
